Mid season variety needs 85 days for fruits to ripen after transplant. Indeterminate vines. Summer Cider is another variety from master tomato breeder Tom Wagner. Initially he called the variety “Apple Butter” but there is a story after a dinner invitation by a Dutch tomato breeder (K. Sahin) Tom shared some seeds with him which Sahin later put them out on the market and renamed them. Summer Cider was just one of the varieties that were stolen and changed the name. The bright apricot colored fruits are like sugar, with a mild flavor, more like a nectarine than a tomato.The texture is creamy, meaty, and juicy. Fruits average between 1-2 pounds.
