★★★★☆ Great for green tomato recipes

Easy to germinate with strong seedlings. We had a rough year for watering last year, but 'Improved Colossal Yellow' held out nicely and gave lots of small fruit. It seems susceptible to dropping fruit before full ripeness, but my green tomato pie recipe and I didn't mind one bit!
