Variety characteristics:

• 873 Helarios Green Tomato may be a German version of Greenich. This indeterminate variety has moderate plant development with dense, regular foliage and is noted as especially cold tolerant. It produces good yields until frost, with fruits weighing about 4.2-6.3 oz. The fruits are irregular in shape, often flattened at the top with ribbing, and ripen mainly yellow-green, sometimes showing a pink blush near the blossom end. The flesh is green, juicy, and meaty, with a refreshing flavor and a distinctive slightly bitter note typical of this green tomato type. A unique choice for fresh eating, slicing, salads, and specialty green tomato collections.
