Tomato Buffalosun F1

2020 AAS Edible – Vegetable Winner

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.
