German Johnson Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)

These hefty heirlooms are especially loved in the southeastern states. A meaty, deep pink beefsteak tomato, German Johnson has high yields, excellent flavor, and a creamy texture. There are two strains, regular and potato leaf. This is the regular leaf strain which is earlier and more productive.
