Variety characteristics:

• 505 Grandma Viney's Yellow and Pink is a Kentucky family heirloom prized for its large, richly flavored bicolor beefsteaks. Broad, flattened fruits ripen to golden yellow with a rosy-pink blush, especially around the shoulders. Their meaty yellow flesh can develop pink marbling near the center. Fruits commonly fall in the 7 to 14 oz range, while exceptional early fruits may grow considerably larger. The sweet, fruity flavor and inviting aroma make thick slices especially enjoyable in sandwiches, salads, and fresh tomato platters. Support the indeterminate vines and their heavy fruits with sturdy stakes or a trellis.
