This large beefsteak tomato is green when ripe, although it will develop a blush color as it ripens further. It is originally from Germany, brought over by Ruby Arnold’s immigrant grandfather. In Greenville, Tennessee her relatives always called it Aunt Ruby’s tomato, and the name stuck. The flavor is sweet with a slight hint of spiciness.
