75 days. Solanum lycopersicum. Open Pollinated. Missouri Pink Love Apple Tomato. The plant produces high yields of large 8 to 16 oz pink Beefsteak tomatoes. It is a popular heirloom tomato variety with a rich history dating back to the Civil War era in Missouri. The tomatoes are juicy, meaty, and sweet. Excellent for salads, burgers, sandwiches, and slicing. This heirloom has been grown since the Civil War by Grandpa Barnes, who grew it as an ornamental, believing, as many people did at the time, that tomatoes or "love apples" were poisonous due to folklore associating them with romance or poison. An excellent choice for home gardens. An heirloom variety from the USA. Indeterminate.
