I finally acquired and got to taste the 'real' Aussie while attending the Buffalo Tomato Fest which my dear friend, the late Remy Rotella, owner of The Sample Seed Shop (now a historical reference) had hosted for many years. Oh my goodness! Now I understand why Aussie Pink is so delicious!
Aussie produces near blemish-free fruits that are also nearly coreless, with deep red flesh that is dense and meaty with very few seeds. Highly aromatic, excellent flavor that is balanced and 'old-timey'.
Fruits average 3/4 lb. and when grown well there will be have plenty to share!
HISTORY: An Australian heirloom.
Sold in a 3.5" pot.
