Details
Most yellow cherry tomatoes are grown mainly for their color not taste, but Sweet Gold has both full, sweet tomato flavor and jewel toned golden yellow fruits. These small glossy cherries are delicious eaten right from the vine, enjoyed for snacks, or for adorning summer salads and stir fries. The vigorous indeterminate vines grow effortlessly, start bearing early, and reliably produce heavy clusters of these brightly colored, tasty little fruits throughout the summer. Originally a hybrid, these seeds were saved from the F1 hybrid grow-out and are considered an unstable F2 variety.
