Santa Ana, AKA Santa Ana Beuteltomate. First offered in the Seed Savers 2007 Yearbook by Michael Gunn of Pasadena, TX, who got the seeds from M. Hahm-Hartmann, Germany. Introduced commercially in North America by Tatiana’s TOMATObase Seeds in 2014. Indeterminate, regular leaf plants produce good yields of 2-4 oz., dark-pink, pear-shaped, slightly ruffled tomatoes with very good array of bold tomatoey flavors. A very good stuffing tomato due to being almost semi-hollow and because the seeds and middle of the fruit can be easily removed.
