Title: Yellow baby plum tomato
Post by: Linnea on July 25, 2012, 15:44:07
I was at Tatton park show last week and in the veg competition tent there were some yellow baby plum tomatoes for tasting/purchasing. I can't actually now remember the variety name but they were very nice and I would like to grow some next year.
any ideas?

Galina's link is the one I was thinking of too. Although it might be worth saving seed from a supermarket yellow mini that you like, save seeds and grow a couple of plants next year, if they are good save seed from the best plant to sow the following season. Hybrid seed can give varying results, but often fruit is very similar to the parents and will look and taste very similar.

Someone on here sent me seeds for these a while ago and they were fantastic. Pear shaped cherry toms in a gorgeous yellow

Those yellow tomatoes are what I would call egg shaped. In Spain (Gauca) a couple of years back I had a salad with tiny yellow tomatoes. I scraped out the seeds and took them home and have grown them outdoors and in the greenhouse. So far, unscientifically, outdoors was better.
The thing is, we call them the lightbulb tomatoes because that is their exact shape.

Just remembered this one.  It was FIL's favourite tomato.  Very delish.
