Green Sleeves, Heirloom Tomato Seeds

Green Sleeves, Heirloom Tomato Seeds — The Green Sausage Tomato for Gourmet Gardens

Green Sleeves — also known as Green Sausage Tomato — is the tomato that makes chefs and food photographers reach for their cameras. This striking heirloom produces good yields of bi-colored, sausage-shaped fruits about 4 inches long, with green skin streaked in yellow and a kiwi-green interior that is as beautiful as it is delicious. The flavor is rich and old-fashioned — the kind of deep, complex tomato taste that reminds you what a tomato is supposed to taste like.

Fruits grow in clusters of 6–8 and are perfect for green-colored tomato paste and sauce, salads, salsas, and gourmet dishes. Stake or cage for maximum yield. Indeterminate.
