Variety characteristics:

• 556 Tasmanian Blushing Yellow is an unusual Australian bicolor beefsteak tomato known for its bright yellow to golden-orange fruits with a red or pink blush on the shoulders and upper fruit. The round to slightly flattened tomatoes have a meaty texture, sweet flavor, and attractive red coloration that may extend into the interior flesh. Fruits commonly weigh approximately 7.1 to 10.6 oz, with larger specimens reaching about 14.1 oz under favorable conditions. Plants are generally indeterminate and grow to approximately 4 ft tall, making them more compact than many large-fruited vines but still requiring staking or trellising. The variety is prized for its exotic appearance, rich salad quality, and excellent fresh-eating flavor.
