Variety characteristics:

• 490 Grandma's Honey is a tall, mid-early indeterminate tomato with an extended fruiting season that can continue until frost under favorable conditions. The vigorous plants carry large, meaty beefsteak fruits with a sweet, highly aromatic flavor. Standard seed descriptions place the ripe fruit in a pink to raspberry color range, while this seed lot shows a striking yellow-orange base with red striping and blush. Fruits commonly weigh about 10.6 to 17.6 oz, with exceptional early fruits potentially much larger. The juicy, nearly translucent flesh is rich and tender, making the tomatoes excellent for fresh slicing, salads, sandwiches, and tomato platters. Provide sturdy support for the tall vines and heavy fruit clusters.
