Great White Tomato

My favorite tomato of all time. Love the flavor. I have gardened for many years and try to grow a new tomato each year but I always go back to this one. Color is so pretty with blushes of pink.

I grew these last year. Taste is mildly acidic but not sweet and with a hint of melon in there. I did not prune the suckers and ended up with lots of plant and very few tomatoes. Also... most of my other tomatoes (except the Large Barred Bore) had major issues with fungus, but not these! I am planning to grow several of them this year. I will grow them up a string and prune ALL the suckers. I am pretty sure I will get lots of good sized tasty tomatoes... I hope so anyway!

It is so fussy. The early flowers often don't set, even when its neighbors are setting fruit. On a plot with other tomato plants weighed down with dozens of fruit, the Great White may have 6. Not only that, but this plant makes leaves all day long. Despite all of the headaches, this is a truly exceptional fruit. Creamy white, sweet, savory. I want to make white tomato sauce with it. I am learning how to graft tomatoes because of this variety. I hope a good rootstock can fix its shortcomings. It's worth it.

Best tomato for a tomato sandwich. They are prolific, grow large and are so uniquely flavored! Several have mentioned it is hard to know when ripe. Here is a tip: When ripe, they will have a faint red "star burst" on the bottom (blossom end).

My third year growing these. They are my wife's favorites! Wonderful, large, and perfect. The Great White had earned a regular spot in the rotation. They are a pain in the can to start from seed and slow to take when replanted. But once they take and are caged they are a dream! The flavor is well worth it.
