Evergreen

• An old heirloom with an intriguing history: Evergreen is an old green-when-ripe tomato whose original origins remain unknown. It was commercially introduced in the United States by Glecklers Seedmen in 1956. The details of its original breeding history were not preserved.
• Green beefsteaks with an amber blush: The round, slightly flattened fruits weigh 180 to 300 grams in our variety description and often show ribbing around the shoulders. Their skin stays green, developing a subtle yellow-green to amber blush at full ripeness. The flesh remains a beautiful emerald green.
• Refreshing flavour with a delicate bitter note: The firm, juicy flesh has a distinctly fresh flavour, with fruity notes and a pleasant hint of bitterness. This combination makes Evergreen especially enjoyable fresh. Its substantial texture also works well in salads, sauces and coulis.
• A vigorous indeterminate plant: Evergreen has an indeterminate growth habit and produces vigorous plants with regular foliage. They can reach approximately 1.8 metres in height. Sturdy support is recommended to carry the sizeable plants and their beefsteak fruits.
• Good harvests from midseason: Evergreen crops well from midseason onwards, often in successive waves. Under favourable conditions, harvesting may continue until the first frost. Look for a slight amber colour change and a little give when gently pressed: these tomatoes never turn red when ripe.
