Tomato Seeds - Indeterminate - Banana Legs Cherry
Description
A truly distinctive heirloom, Banana Legs Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) produces clusters of slender, banana-shaped fruits with a smooth, bright yellow skin and meaty, low-acid flesh. Each fruit averages 3–4 inches long and ripens from pale ivory to golden yellow, often with faint striping near the stem. Developed for productivity and ornamental charm, it offers both high yields and excellent visual appeal in the garden or market display.
Fruits are firm, mildly sweet, and ideal for sauces, salads, roasting, or canning, holding their shape beautifully when cooked. The low acidity and delicate flavor make it a favorite among gardeners who prefer mild tomatoes for lighter dishes or colorful mixed salsas.
Plants are determinate but heavy-setting, typically reaching 2–3 feet tall with bushy growth that thrives in containers, raised beds, or open garden rows. Maturity occurs in about 75–80 days from transplant, with long, continuous fruiting through midsummer. The variety’s natural tolerance to cracking and disease makes it one of the easiest yellow tomatoes to grow.
First introduced as part of an open-pollinated selection from tomato breeder Tom Wagner, Banana Legs was derived from an early cross of Roma-type paste tomatoes and decorative yellow cultivars. Today, it remains prized for its eye-catching color, reliable yield, and mild, golden sweetness that brightens both garden and kitchen alike.
