Dwarf tomato Summertime Gold is a variety from the Dwarf Tomato Project that originated from a cross made by Patrina Nuske Small between Golden Dwarf Champion and Green Giant, named Sneezy. Summertime Gold was selected and named by David Lockwood. Summertime Gold Dwarf Tomato is a potato leaf dwarf variety, late producing, that produces oblate medium fruits that ripen to very pale yellow with a pink blush. The plants produced good yields of these beautiful yellow tomatoes and we really like the well balanced and sweet flavor. This variety has been pledged to the OSSI (Open Source Seed Initiative). Seeds grown and harvested in Cork, Ireland.
The OSSI is working to maintain fair and open access to plant genetic diversity worldwide and ensuring freedom to use these resources for farmers, gardeners, breeders, and communities of this and future generations. Free the Seed!
