Lillian's Yellow Heirloom
90 days, indeterminate — A potato leaf, late maturing, large (up to twenty ounces), oblate bright yellow fruit with a meaty, dense (no air space), pale yellow interior and very, very few seeds. Great, rich, complex flavors that are a bit unusual for yellow-fruited tomato varieties. It is an excellent slicing variety.
This heirloom variety originated from Lillian Bruce of Manchester, Tennessee, via Robert Richardson of New York, and sent to author and tomato authority Craig LeHoullier back in 1988. He introduced it to gardeners through the Seed Savers Exchange and sent seed to us to raise in 2004. Each packet contains approximately 20 seeds.
