Dwarf Golden Tipsy Tomato

This was the best tomato that I've ever eaten. However, we have long hot dry summers and the last summer provided record breaking heat waves with several weeks of temps at or above 110 F! Consequently the plant only yielded about five fruit all season long. If I lived somewhere more suitable I would grow this variety every year!

Wow! What a fantastic tomato! Good full tomato tomato flavor - what I would call "savory" as it doesn't have a lot of sweetness compared to sweet tomatoes. And beautiful, too. I grew two using 5 gallon and 7 gallon fabric bags. Must stake the plants because the fruits are so heavy. I've been picking them just past the breaking stage to take weight off the branches and letting the fruit finish ripening inside.

The Tipsy family just keeps on pleasing. However - I've found varieties from this family can be a bit more sensitive to extreme weather conditions. The gorgeous potato leaf plants of this variety provide good foliage cover for the medium sized, smooth bright yellow tomatoes that have high yield potential. The flavor is really quite glorious - it has it all - balance, sweetness, tartness and intensity.

On my second year attempt growing vegetables from seeds, I tried my hand at these guys. They grew well and put out tons of flowers throughout the season but the few plants I had never had a single fruit. I'm not sure if I didn't plant enough of them or did something wrong. The bugs really seemed to love them though, so they basically worked as a guard for all my other plants in the garden. The plants themselves were nice a strong and a good size. Since I don't have a lot of gardening experience I'm going to assume their lack of fruit was something I did. I'd be interested to see if anyone else has gotten fruit from them.
