Mr. Stripey Tomato – This huge Heirloom beefsteak red and yellow tomato is not only sweat to the taste, but it is beautiful in your garden. No two tomatoes are ever alike. The background color of the tomato is yellow to light orange, and the red often appears in little spots that align themselves into stripes radiating from the stem and the fruit.
