75-80 Days. A regular leaf version of the heirloom German Johnson. Vigorous vines produce mild-flavored, meaty, rough, 12 to 24 ounce fruits with pink skin, yellow shoulders, and low acid flavor. Has better and earlier production than the potato leaf strain. Highly rated for flavor and yield. Indeterminate.

did not do well for me
May 10, 2024  |  By sam
tried these 2 years ago and they just did not grow well for me not sure if it was the seeds i had or something i did when i started them but the 2 i did get in the ground grew well but did not put out much at all only a couple of tomatoes and i pulled the plants because the season had ended here in south central tx . would not grow again for me though others have had good results just don't have a lot of room for failure with my small garden space

LOVE the German Johnsons
Mar 7, 2026  |  By ConstanceGagliano
Although they take some time to be ready to harvest, these tomatoes are DELICIOUS and HUGE! My only complaint is not really a true complaint, but the tomatoes are so large it is impossible to eat them in one day-far too big for one sandwich.
