77 days. (Indeterminate) [West Virginia family heirloom from before 1948, originally from Italy. Named and introduced by SESE in 1983 in honor of 'Tappy' who selected for regular shape, small cores, few seeds, and fine flavor. This was the first heirloom we introduced.] Tappy's Finest was selected in the mountains of West Virginia and it performs best where summers are moderate to cool. Fruits are pink-red, large; they average 14-16 oz., sometimes up to 2 lbs., and are very meaty. The slightly irregular fruits are somewhat flattened with prominent shoulder indentations. An excellent tomato for processing or for use in salads or sandwiches. Also makes a delicious tomato juice. Like all sweet, good-flavored tomatoes, it is not a heavy producer, but it has won several flavor trials.
