Ponderosa, Red AKA Ponderosa Scarlet. Old-time favorite heirloom grown in the U.S. since 1891. Indeterminate, regular leaf plant produces heavy crops of 10-24 oz., deep-red, slightly-flattened, almost seedless, meaty tomatoes with mild, well-balanced flavors. Tends to do better in humid areas than many other tomato varieties.
