Variety characteristics:

• 486 Peaches and Cream is a midseason Amish heirloom tomato associated with Missouri seed-saving traditions. Vigorous, regular-leaf, indeterminate vines produce substantial beefsteak fruits weighing up to approximately 17.6 oz in this growing description. The broad, slightly flattened tomatoes ripen to a brilliant golden orange and contain thick, juicy orange flesh. Their mild, fruity flavor and inviting aroma make them especially enjoyable as fresh slices for sandwiches, burgers, salads, and tomato platters. The meaty fruits are also useful for juice, sauce, and properly acidified home canning. Provide sturdy support for the tall vines and heavy fruit clusters.
