Interesting note. The first year I grew it, I wasn't that impressed with the flavor. It was ok. The second year, it was one of the best tomatoes in the garden! Two different locations in my yard was the only difference, the year two plant was in highly amended, less clay soil. Weather was drought both years.

Rated good in my yearly taste tests.

I garden in South Dakota, zone 5a. This tomato is exceptionally early in my garden, always the first large tomato. It is always the largest as well. That said, I no longer grow it as the flavor is very bland to my palate. If this tomato had flavor, it would be a must grow every year. Always got clusters of large fruit a pound or more. Very heathy plant, never gave me a moment of worry. No BER.

Aunt Ruby's German Green is a top five large tomato variety for me. The flavor is balanced, yet sweet and mild. The best version of the ripe green tomato varieties. As with many heirlooms, there may be a small amount of cat-facing, yet never excessive. Weight is generally around a pound. Not disease prone in my garden. Also not the most prolific, but still a good harvest for a larger heirloom variety. A mid to late season producer.

Rated very high in my yearly taste tests.

This tomato is ultra sweet with very good flavor. This tomato is a long keeper. When picked fully ripe, it will last at least two weeks on a counter, retaining full flavor. The plant is wispy and needs support, prolific. In South Dakota USDA Zone 4/5, using seeds started in late March and transplanted outdoors in mid May, you will have a harvest of Pink Tiger tomatoes in early August.
