Classified as a Green-When-Ripe (GWR) bi-color, this tomato is a must grow! Bold, tangy and sweet all in one mouthful. Fruits average between 8-16 ounces. When ripe, fruit is soft to the touch with a pink-red bottom. Sliced open it displays stunning shades of green, pink and yellow. It’s almost too pretty to eat. Withstands heat and drought well. If you are looking for a consistent tomato that will not let you down, then this is the way to go. An accidental cross of Lucky Cross and an unknown variety, bred and stabilized by Millard Murdock of East Flat Rock, North Carolina.
