Sweet Ozark Orange

I found an info page on Sweet Ozark Orange Tomato on Dave’s Garden Website, which I’ve attached to this post, so you can have a look at this beauty and it’s breeding.

The Breeder wrote:-
I intentionally crossed German Red Strawberry with Dr. Wyche’s Yellow in 2009. The resulting F1 generation hybrids in 2010 were large red semi-heart tomatoes with only fair flavor. This large orange beefsteak strain with excellent flavor appeared in only one plant among many wild variations the following generation, in 2011. I have grown this new open-pollinated variety for three seasons now, and I believe it is stable. The tomatoes are large, sweet, bright orange when ripe, and meaty. The plants have thick regular-leaf foliage and are very productive. I believe this is a much-improved descendant of Dr. Wyche’s Yellow, benefiting from the addition of German Red Strawberry genes which show up in the characteristics of excellent flavor and meatiness with little pulp.
