All that an heirloom has to offer but better! Buffalosun shone in the trials with fruit that had a better texture than the comparisons (Margold and Striped German), a higher yield, and less cracking. This indeterminate tomato should be staked for best garden performance and you will be rewarded with fruits long into the season. The unique yellow with red/orange flame coloration is beautiful on the outside and results in a nicely marbled interior. Good tasting sweet, tender flesh gives the look of an heirloom without the mushiness often associated with heirlooms. Buffalosun also outlasted the comparisons when disease hit in late summer, notably thanks to its late blight resistance.
Fun fact: Buffalosun exhibited good locule development. What’s a locule? That space between tomato sections where the seeds and gel are formed.

This the second season of growing this Buffalo~sun tomato. The tomato is large yellow with red arura that makes
it a beauty. The taste is I believe is better than many large tomatoes like one of my favorites is the Brandywine. It is
very hardy and stands up to extreme heat. The texture is firm but holds together when you slice it. Perfect steak
tomato or for any use.
