Variety characteristics:

• 431 Apricot Brandy is a beautiful slicing tomato producing substantial beefsteak fruits weighing approximately 8 to 16 oz. The smooth, round to slightly oblate tomatoes ripen from pale yellow to glowing apricot gold and rich golden orange, with gentle ribbing possible around the shoulders. Their tender, exceptionally juicy flesh delivers pronounced sweetness, delicate fruitiness, and a smooth finish with restrained perceived acidity. The broad, meaty slices are perfectly sized for sandwiches, burgers, salads, and colorful fresh platters. Vigorous vines require sturdy staking or caging to support the heavy fruit clusters. Also excellent for fresh salsa, roasting, juice, golden tomato sauces, and attractive garnishes.
