Overview
Emerald Evergreen is a green-when-ripe heirloom slicer developed by Gleckler's Seedsmen around 1950. The medium-large fruit of 6 to 10 ounces stays lime green at maturity, so judge ripeness by softness and a slight yellowing rather than color. The flavor is sweet and low in acid. Plants are indeterminate with regular leaves and need staking; maturity runs roughly 70 to 80 days.
