Description
Aunt Ruby’s German Green ripens to chartreuse with a blush of amber, delivering tropical sweetness and a hint of spice—proof that ripe doesn’t have to mean red. Originating from Ruby Arnold of Tennessee, it’s a cherished family heirloom.
Fruits can top a pound, so stake stoutly and pick when the bottom just yellows. Slice thick for sandwiches or dice for salsa verde-style salads. Indeterminate vines bear steadily; keep moisture even to avoid cracking. Use the fruit fresh, roasted, sauced, canned, or eaten warm from the vine, depending on the variety.
