Overview
Three Sisters is an open-pollinated heirloom with a quirk: every plant in a sowing produces one of three fruit shapes. Most plants give a large, single-pleated salad tomato, while others turn out Roma-shaped fruit or a pleated, flattened globe. All share potato-leaf foliage and fruit in the 4 to 6 ounce range. The plants are indeterminate and mature in the main season, so stake them well. It suits gardeners who enjoy a bit of surprise and are saving seed from an old line.
