Banana Toes Tomato

Description: Dwarf, paste type tomato. Just the name ‘Banana Toes’ made us want to grow them. The plants bear clusters of four to six fruit that are a striking yellow color, later ripening into a deeper shade, almost orange in some cases. We liked the idea of yellow pasta sauce, which they are perfect for. Very compact plants at around eighteen to twenty four inches tall so they are great for small and large gardens alike. Like other yellow tomatoes, the flavor is mild.

Open Pollinated.

Days to Maturity: 70

History: The "Speckly" family originated from a cross made by Craig LeHoullier between "Dwarf Tomato Project" release 'Dwarf Golden Heart' and the indeterminate variety 'Speckled Roman'. 'Banana Toes' was selected and named by Gina McDermott in 2017. Along with key contributor Gina McDermott, Craig LeHoullier, Bill Minkey, Mike Dunton, and John Dunton are the other contributors to creating this new variety
