The Sweetest Cherry Variety for Your Garden
Discover the unparalleled flavor of Sun Gold tomatoes, a hybrid cherry variety that matures in just 65 days. These golden-orange fruits are renowned for their exceptionally high sugar content, making them a favorite among gardeners and chefs alike. Introduced by Tokita Seed Company of Japan in 1992, Sun Gold quickly gained popularity for its perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess.
Sun Gold tomatoes are ideal for fresh eating, salads, and snacking. Their vibrant color and intense sweetness make them a standout addition to any dish. The fruits are small, typically weighing about one ounce each, but what they lack in size they make up for in flavor. Their thin skin and juicy interior create a burst of sunshine in every bite, elevating both simple and complex culinary creations.
These indeterminate plants grow vigorously, reaching heights of 6-8 feet. Sun Gold produces abundant clusters of 10-15 fruits throughout the growing season until frost. When properly cared for, a single plant can yield up to 120 tomatoes. Plant them 36 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and support their tall vines with sturdy cages or stakes.
Growing Success Tips:
- Provide full sun exposure for at least 6-8 hours daily
- Use well-draining, fertile soil rich in organic matter
- Water consistently, keeping soil evenly moist
- Prune suckers regularly to promote better air circulation and fruit production
Sun Gold tomatoes are a must-have for any tomato enthusiast or home gardener looking to add a touch of sweetness to their harvest. Their disease resistance and prolific nature make them an excellent choice for both novice and experienced growers.
For optimal flavor, harvest Sun Gold tomatoes when they turn a deep golden-orange color.
