Hillbilly, Heirloom Tomato Seeds

Hillbilly — The West Virginia Heirloom With Huge Orange-Yellow Streaked Beefsteak Fruits and Low-Acid Flavor

Hillbilly is an old heirloom from the hills of West Virginia — and they know a superb tomato when they see one. Huge, mild-flavored beefsteak-type fruits weigh 1 to 2 pounds apiece and are colored a most unusual orange-yellow, streaked and mottled in attractive shades of red and pink. A low-acid ancient variety with red, yellow, and orange flesh that delivers exceptional mild flavor — perfect for fresh eating, slicing, and anyone who finds standard tomatoes too acidic. Indeterminate vines produce generously through the season.

Growing Notes

Start indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in fertile, well-draining soil. Transplant outdoors after all frost danger has passed, spacing plants 24–36 inches apart in full sun. Stake or cage — indeterminate vines need support. Water consistently. Harvest when fruits are fully colored and give slightly to gentle pressure.
