| Last year, one of my co-workers gave me a yellow tomato. It was hard, and still it is hard. It has not dried nor turned mushy. What type of tomato is this? The size is about 2 inches in diameter. |

| If it lasted as long as you say it could well be what's called a keeping variety, they ripen very slowly and in geneneral have lousy tastes with a few exceptions. I've linked to a list of longkeeper varieties below from Tania's excellent tomato data base so you can see how many there are. But with no information given to you I think, actually know, that it will be impossible to ID it. The only one on her list that I've grown, is the one under the Z category, which is also known as Giraffe. Hope that helps. Carolyn |
