Heirloom variety from the USA, said to have been found among debris during a flood on the banks of the Ohio, by James Lyde, in 1884.

Very large dark pink fruit weighing more than 400 grams, flattened round with swollen and ribbed shoulders, which sometimes remain green even when fully ripe. Significant depression at the peduncular attachment.

Rich flavor of heirloom tomatoes, not based on sweetness but on character.

Slight tendency to crack in case of prolonged rain.
