Super Choice Tomatoes
Super Choice is a rare and delicious old Kentucky Heirloom tomato. The story of the Super Choice Tomato is that it was preserved by Hobart Pearson of Berea, Kentucky, who was given the seed from an Amish family of Liberty, Kentucky, who had been growing it for over 100 years!
Our organic tomato seed will produce vigorous, indeterminate, regular-leaf tomato plants that yield heavy loads of 1-2 lb., red, beefsteak tomatoes loaded with rich, complex, old-time tomato flavors.
This classic beefsteak tomato has exceptionally wonderful flavor and texture and it will soon become a family favorite!
