The listing, 20 Angora Orange Tomato seeds - FUZZY FOLIAGE! has ended.

This tomato, is a mutation (a natural genetic variation) of the red tomato tomato variety, called Angora,

This tomato was my little garden pet this year.

Believe it or not, this vigorous grower, actually survived an accident early in it's life. When I was trying to transplant it as a young seedling, it's stem snapped nearly in half!
Most people would have thought "well, that one is a total loss". But because tomatoes are hard to get going in general, I was going to try & save it, as to not be set back for months. So believe it or not, this worked.

I put the stem back together as close set as possible, & scotch taped around the whole stem, completely covering the injury. I even taped around 2" above, & below the injury. Then put a slit toilet paper roll loosely around the stem to help stabilize it., Then I brought it inside, & put the pot it was in, in a larger pot, to help keep weight off the injury. I left it that way for about a month. Then went to check it. There was a solid callus around the injury! The plant had healed. I gently took the plant out of the other pot, laid it down gently, & very gingerly, cut the scotch tape off the stem. I then went to transplant it again, & dug an extra deep hole, so the injured part would be below ground, & stabilized, so more roots could grow above the injury.

At any rate, this almost fatally wounded plant, was the 1 that did the best for me this year!

I called it "My Woolly Mammoth". It's still out there alive right now, with more fruits on it.

Some fruits maybe so heavy, they may need a sling, to prevent the bending of branches.

The 3-6oz. fruits, have a slight peach fuzz feel to them.

It is indeterminate (4+ ft tall), so will keep growing until a frost kills it.

Because it wants to keep growing, sometimes if about 2 ft. of the vine ends are cut off, & put in water, they may root, & live on indoors, to grow into new plants, while the original plant outside is killed by frost.
