About Elbe

Named after the Elbe River in Germany. This has been an old favorite heirloom tomato since 1889. Big, leafy, indeterminate, potato-leaf tomato plants that yield gorgeous 12-14 oz., 3 to 4-inch, yellow-orange, beefsteak tomatoes with an abundance of delicious, fruity, sweet/tart flavors. A wonderful salad tomato and don’t miss trying this for making golden tomato sauce. Suitable for cooler growing regions.
