Tennessee Britches
95 days, indeterminate — The regular leaf plants of 'Tennessee Britches' provide good leaf coverage and produce huge (up to forty ounces!) pink fruit that are very tasty.
According to his daughter, this variety was raised by Mr. Buckley of Dresden, Tennessee for "as long as she could remember." He passed away back in the early 1990s. It was then maintained by Mr. Joe Atnip who named the variety after his nickname for his daughter when she was young. This rare family heirloom was sent to us by author and tomato authority Craig LeHoullier. Each packet contains approximately 20 seeds.

Every seed I planted sprouted and grew into a large bountiful plant. It fought off the intense Indiana summer heat and humidity. I kept watering and it kept growing. This is truly a winner seed. Great tasting tomato too.

Dense, juicy tomato. Thin delicate skin. Tastes rich and old-fashioned, the way tomatoes ought to taste.
