Varieties of Yellow Tomatoes
Whether you are in search of a juicy, sweet treat, or you want to use yellow tomatoes in your salads, there are a variety of options available. Whether you’re looking for a new variety to add to your garden or you’re interested in purchasing one that has already been cultivated, there are plenty of options out there.
Golden Jubilee
During the war, the Golden Jubilee tomato became popular with Victory Gardens. It has a golden-orange color, firm flesh, and a tasty flavor. The juicy fruit is perfect for salads and sandwiches. They are high in Vitamin C, potassium, and lycopene.
The Golden Jubilee tomato is a heavy producer. Its fruit is large, round, and meaty. It has low acidity. The meaty interior of the tomato produces delicious tomato juice. The yellow color of the fruit is due to the presence of beta-carotene, a pigment that neutralizes free radicals. It also regulates muscle control and nerve function.
The Golden Jubilee tomato can be eaten fresh from the vine, canned, or eaten in sauces and salads. It is a good choice for small gardens and containers. It is also a good variety for northern climates.
Cream Sausage
Developed by legendary tomato breeder Tom Wagner, the Cream Sausage heirloom is an excellent candidate for a backyard oasis. While the plant does not take well to frost, it can be counted on to produce a crop in spades. A single plant can produce up to six fruits, which are typically harvested at three inches or so. This is one of the easiest plants to grow, and the rewards can be plentiful.
As with most tomato varieties, you should avoid the cream sausage in the heat of summer. It is best to plant the seeds in late January or early February. Depending on your climate, this year’s crop can be harvested in as little as seven days.
Garden Peach
During the early 1900s, seed companies began breeding peach-type varieties. One of them is the Garden Peach. This is a fruit with a sweet and fruity flavor and a mildly acidic content. Its pale yellow skin is tinged with a hint of pink.
The Garden Peach’s fruit is small to medium-sized and grows naturally between 200 and 1,000 meters. Its pale yellow color and pink blush resemble a miniature peach. Its small size makes it a good candidate for growing in containers. It also requires well-drained, neutral pH soil.
In addition to its pale yellow skin, the Garden Peach also possesses a fuzz that resembles a peach. Its name hints at its peach-like appearance, but it has the added benefit of being resistant to scab, which is the bane of many tomato varieties.
Orange Jubilee
Whether you’re planning on planting one or two this summer, the Golden Orange Tomato is an excellent choice. It is a medium sized indeterminate plant with narrow foliage and is well suited for the home garden. It can produce 6-7 ounce fruits. The fruits are meaty with a solid meaty flesh. The fruits are best suited for fresh eating, but will do for the canning department. It is best suited for a sheltered garden or patio. It is not a good choice for northern climates or those with long summers. Its most notable virtue is its ability to produce fruits in record time.
Dr. Wyche’s Yellow Heirloom
Originally named the Hot Yellow tomato, this heirloom tomato was introduced by Dr. John Wyche, a Cherokee dentist. He was also an avid gardener, and used elephant manure and lion waste in his garden.
When ripe, the fruit reaches a beautiful golden yellow color, and the flesh is meaty and firm. Its sweet, fruity, and tropic taste makes it great for eating, cooking, or canning.
A member of the nightshade family, this tomato is grown in warm weather. It is an excellent slicer and can be used in a number of recipes. It is a good source of beta-carotene, lycopene, and folate. It is also high in potassium, which is essential for healthy muscle function. It can also be used in salsas and salads.
Lemon Boy
Known as a hybrid, the hybrid Lemon Boy is a popular yellow tomato variety. This variety is disease resistant, and has a beautiful yellow color.
The hybrid Lemon Boy is a tall, tall plant that produces a sweet, smooth and meaty fruit. This fruit is ideal for slicing or stewing.
The Lemon Boy tomato is not as sweet as a red tomato, but it’s not bitter either. Its color blushes when it first begins to ripen, and it has a good tangy flavor.
Generally, Lemon Boy tomatoes will ripen in 72 to 80 days. You can expect to get between 6 to 8 ounces per fruit.
