Next year my OH wants us (aka me..)to grow - and I quote - decent sized sweet tasting yellow tomatoes and not just those silly little gardeners delights.

Waddya reckon folks?

Best type?

Seed supplier?

I like Tangella... "normal" sized yellow/orange and can probably find anotherone to match... pm me, it's cheaper... :)

I grew Golden Sunrise this year and was very pleased. They did well outdoors, gave a lovely sweet tomato and were prolific.

Dr. Wyche's Yellow or Golden Queen would probably fit the bill tomatogrowers.com sells both, it's an American company but they deliver over here.
If you did want a few of those "silly little gardeners delights" too then Millefleur centiflor tomatoes from Real seeds produce millions of small sweet yellow tomatoes over a long season.

another vote for golden sunrise, they're still producing in the poly and we've had a bumper harvest, very sweet, good sized ;D

Does Sungold count as yellow? (It's orange, actually.) That's got my vote.

White Queen was very prolific, although the later ones have gone a bit soft. (I'm still picking them.)
(And I think I'll look out for Orange Queen, Tim.)

And Auriga is brilliant. One of the tastiest I've ever grown.

Sungella is a cross between a Sungold and another older yallow variety. Larger fruits but with the Sungold flavour.

I'm fairly certain the other parent was Tangella... :)

Yep - that would make a lot of sense Saddad!! (although I never knew it till now)

I found Sungella a great disappointment, not a patch for flavour on either its parents. Also more prone to blight.

I've not noticed any blight problems but I have had good and bad years with them. This year not so good so may try Tangella (now that I know!)

I grow Cream Sorbet for my yellow fix.

For a sweet yellow tomato you could try 'Garden Peach', very sweet and juicy but also slightly furry like a peach which some folk don't like...

saddad · « **Reply #15 on:** October 14, 2009, 07:34:17 »

Mine are much paler than that Deb... almost white, yet it's from your seed batch... :-\

Deb P · « **Reply #16 on:** October 14, 2009, 07:37:23 »

That's weird.....I didn't grow them this year, tried the red fuzzy ones instead! Did they still taste nice though?

saddad · « **Reply #17 on:** October 14, 2009, 07:39:42 »

I think so but OH says she prefers a bit more "acid" in the taste... :-\

Isn't that because they've crossed? I know we all save tomato seed but I think I read recently on the seed saving website that they should be isolated to come true?

saddad · « **Reply #19 on:** October 14, 2009, 07:49:25 »

Possibly Ceres... I found that the red peach (another furry one) lost it's fur after about a decade... most come true but some are more prone to crossing... notably "currants" and potato leaf types... and probably furry ones.. :-X
