ABSTRACT

Idaho may have famous potatoes, but Schaeferville has famous ‘Rednecks.’ This tomato cultivar is pear-shaped, large, and bicolored. The globular portion is as big as a navel orange, and has about the same bright orange color. The neck is scarlet and as long as a small cucumber. The large portion of this tomato is ideal for slicing, canning, or preparation of sauce; a single neck is sufficient for a large salad for one person. And, this tomato is seedless. ‘Rednecks’ are highly desirable in the fresh market, but they have a unique ability to withstand cold storage for up to six months without rotting. Best of all (and in contrast to all other tomato cultivars), wicked witches do not eat ‘Rednecks.’
