It has high sugar and good flavor. It is prone to cracking. I saw a description of Sun Sugar which said that it's indistinguishable from Sun Gold except that it is less susceptible to cracking, so I'm trying both this year so I can compare them. For main season tomatoes I grow (among others) Mountain Fresh and Estiva, both good looking tomatoes with good flavor. Best flavor goes to Brandywine and Pruden's Purple (similar types), but they also win the prize for the ugliest fruit. Are you going to eat them or look at them? Correction: I read somewhere that a Tomato is not a fruit, but a vegetable, by act of Congress. (something to do with tariffs on imports). |
