Super productive. Requested by friends 2 years running as their all-purpose canner-juicer-slicer.

Not really a paste but the large, blocky fruit of a or more made up for that misnomer.// indet., regular leaf plants produce lots of blunt red hearts in 10-16 oz range. Some fruits are not heart-shaped, but not beefsteaks either, I would call them 'blocky'. Fruits have meaty interior with small seed cavities and very few seeds. This variety is too juicy for a paste tomato, but it is excellent as a slicer, as it has outstanding sweet/tart balanced flavor. Family heirloom from Carol Chyko's family in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. First introduced in Seed Savers 1988 Yearbook by Bill Ellis of Conyngham, Pennsylvania (PA EL B), who received the seed from Carol Chyko. Bill described it as "100 days, huge indet. vine, shy to set fruit in hot weather, needs cool nights, blocky fruits to 3 lbs, ripen orange-red, partially hollow inside, used for sauce or paste, extraordinary sweet but quite prone to rotting on vine, O.S. Carol Chyko of Hazleton, PA, her family's heirloom."

an heirloom tomato gifted to us by a good friend whose family had grown it for many years at their home near Hickory, North Carolina. Vigorous plants produce an abundance of yellow-orange slicing tomatoes with very sweet flavor and a low acid content. A great variety for making yellow tomato chutney.

Nice red cherr70-75 days, Indeterminate, regular leaf, large plant, extremely productive, 1 oz red cherries, excellent taste and lots of them. One of the best cherry types in 2018. Still good right up to frost. // From Geza Korbely, Hungary.

It is mostly Brandywine with a bit of Green Zebra. They made a few selections and a Brandywine size tomato fruit with clear epidermis and green flesh was one of the better selections. I call it the Chadds Ford Green.
