Sandburg
\nA fairly recent and relatively obscure variety out of the US. Tall, robust, mid-season indeterminate vine with great productivity. Regular leaf foliage. Mine topped out around 6 ft (1.8 m), trained to two leaders.
\nThe fruits are large, flattened bicolors running yellow-orange with red marbling, weighing 10 oz (300 g) and bigger, showing prominently ribbed, ruffled shoulders. The flesh is juicy, golden-yellow with brilliant crimson streaks radiating from the center core. Gorgeous, rich, sweet, and delightfully fragrant.
\nIn intense summer heat, the tomatoes take on much more red pigmentation. My earliest fruit were noticeably more orange, but towards the end of the season they ripened to nearly solid red. Super striking on the plate and very appetizing. Definitely growing this one again.

I have seeds for Sandburg GWR from Danko, bought as a tricolor. Seems like this line might not be fully stabilized yet. Anyone know if it’s gonna keep segregating and throw off-types? \ud83d\ude41<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
