Vibrant persimmon orange color, with light green shoulders on un-ripe fruits. The taste is excellent, well balanced, not too sweet and not too tart, just right. Grows to 3” fruit. New Zealand family heirloom through the 7th Earl of Edgecombe. The 7th Earl, a former sheep farmer, brought the tomato back to New Zealand in the 1960s when he claimed the title. He gave the seed to the Henry Doubleday Foundation.
