The three Kangaroo Paw tomatoes - chocolate, yellow and yellow - are perfect salad and grilling varieties. They have lovely well balanced flavors, with perhaps some nuance differences between the three colors (or do they? If tasted blind, would that change perceptions?). They all possess the quality genes of one of their parents, Cherokee Green. They are healthy, productive plants.
