Details
The Yellow Tulip Tomato is a stunning and unique mid-season variety originating from a private collection in Russia. This indeterminate plant produces tall, vigorous vines with sparse, regular foliage and a high yield of beautifully variegated fruits. The banana-shaped tomatoes weigh between 60-80 grams and grow in clusters of 5-7, adding a striking ornamental quality to the plant.
The fruits are a vibrant yellow-orange color with a captivating red-yellow flame motif on the upper portion, giving them a tulip-like appearance. Even in their unripe green stage, they are visually attractive. Their firm flesh offers a well-balanced sweet and sour flavor with aromatic undertones, making them perfect for fresh eating, salads, and culinary presentations. They are almost seedless, enhancing their appeal for sauces and preserves.
