Details
Originating from Russia, the Golden King of Siberia is a yellow oxheart tomato. The plant is a wispy, regular leaf, midseason, indeterminate variety that is prolific in its fruit production. The flavor of these tomatoes is sweet with low acidity, yet the fruits are very meaty. With their size ranging from 6-16 ounces, it's important to stake these plants well due to the number of tomatoes produced and their significant weight. These tomatoes are versatile in their use, ideal for slicing, canning, or making sauces, and are a recommended addition to any tomato garden for their unique characteristics and delicious flavor.
