Summer Sweet Gold Open Source Seed Initiative

90 days, dwarf — 'Summer Sweet Gold' is a mid to late season variety and generally is considered one of the best flavored of all of the dwarfs. The plentiful, medium-large (six to fourteen ounce), smooth, oblate-shaped fruit are produced on vigorous, rugose, potato leaf dwarf plants. The medium yellow tomatoes, often showing a pale pink blossom end blush, have an intense, wonderful and memorable flavor.

When the original release of 'Summertime Gold' showed too much of a similarity to 'Dwarf Mr. Snow', likely due to some lingering segregation of genes, Craig LeHoullier and Lee Newman began a new selection process. The result is this improved version that they named 'Summer Sweet Gold', which is exactly what they had hoped for with the original release of 'Summertime Gold'. A bit smaller in average size and a bit later maturing than 'Summertime Gold', this variety was introduced in 2015. Each packet contains approximately 20 seeds.

★★★★★ A fantastic tasting tomato!
By Sue (Buffalo, NY) on August 26, 2022

This tomato tastes awesome! It has a lot of flavor, and it has an almost tangy, citrusy flavor to it. It's hard to convey, but it is a very tasty tomato!

The plant is gorgeous, and I usually get hit with septoria, and this hasn't shown much of it at all while some of my others have been mild to moderately hit.

★★★★★ Absolutely Delicious
By Tamera Marcus on July 22, 2017

I'm growing dozens of different types of tomatoes. Most are from Victory Seeds' Container/Dwarf category. Without a doubt these are one of my favorite tomatoes. They're truly delicious. These and 'Dwarf Mr.Snow' are awesome, and have been year after year.
