In our July/August 2009 issue, author Teresa O’Connor listed 10 great heirloom tomatoes. Here are five more that are well worth trying:

‘Amana Orange’
Large, light orange beefsteaks reach 2 pounds or more. Excellent sweet flavor. 90 days.

‘Aunt Ruby’s German Green’
Along with a great name, this heirloom has light greenish-yellow beefsteak tomatoes with a superb sweet and fruity flavor. The variety comes from Tennessee and tolerates hot climates. 80 days.

‘Banana Legs’
This prolific heirloom yields bright yellow, banana-shaped fruit that grows up to 4 inches long. The determinate variety doesn’t need pruning or staking. 72 days.

‘Mortgage Lifter’
"Radiator Charlie" Byles developed this popular variety in Logan, West Virginia. Legend has it Byles paid off his mortgage by selling the prolific plants. Deep pink beefsteaks have a sweet, rich flavor. 70 days.

‘White Wonder’
