Bicolor beefsteak fruits are yellow/orange with pink/red marbling.
This large, gorgeous tomato is originally from Polk County, MN. The bicolor beefsteak fruits are yellow/orange with pink/red marbling. As fruits ripen they have a rainbow appearance: greens on the shoulder, yellow, orange, gold in the middle, and red on the blossom end. These tomatoes are very striking when sliced for platters and sandwiches, as the yellow fruit have bright red streaking though the flesh. This 1-2 lb. heirloom yields moderate to large crops and has a very mild, juicy, and fruity sweet flavor.
