Persimmon tomatoes are notable for both size and color. Weighing in at one-to-two pounds, the golden-colored fruits may reach five inches in diameter. The flavor is sweet, and the flesh is meaty.

This is an heirloom tomato that was apparently grown by Thomas Jefferson and re-introduced in the 1980s.

An indeterminate cultivar, Persimmon tomatoes mature in 80 days. With its large fruits, the plants should be staked for support.

These plants are seed-grown.
