I first grew this heirloom tomato two summers ago and instantly fell in love. It’s a beefsteak tomato that has very few seeds and is perfect for slicing and adding to sandwiches, burgers, or simply eating with a little salt and pepper.
It has a wonderful, classic “tomatoey” flavour, and the kicker is the colour, as far as I’m concerned.
I like this tomato so much that I grew three of the plants this year.
We rented a cottage with some friends this weekend, and I forced my heirlooms on them a few times over the weekend. We ate the amana orange sliced with our breakfast of barbecued bacon & eggs.

Those look absolutely delicious. I think I might try those this next year. Thanks for the photos.
Oh, oh, oh!!
My most favorite tomato of all time! It is flawless!
First to germinate. First to bloom. First to give forth fruit.
Last to give forth fruit. Last to still be blooming after a freeze.
Biggest, lushest and most disease resistant in my garden.
Makes the best sauce and salsa and soup.
High king tomato!!!!
Thank you for spotlighting it!
