Yellow Tomato Plants
Basinga
Pale Yellow
I like Basinga. The color is sort of different from other Yellows, very light but still intense, particularly if grown in Fall. This is a big solid feeling fruit that is in the 8-12 oz. range. The flavor is mild but not bland..just sort of easy going and pleasant.

Dr. Wyches' Yellow
I like yellow tomatos a lot and this one is no exception. A big, solid meaty beauty that I find easy to grow. The fruit will often times go quite large- 12 oz + is not unusual. The flavor is not bland like some yellows. Rich and fresh as I expect a yellow to be. The yellow coloration is not true, like, say, Lemon Boy. It can blend into goldish or orange. A good one all around. |

Feng Shui
Orangeish Yellow
Of Chinese origin, this brightly colored Tomato is a very strong grower with heavy production of 4.5 oz fruit that are somewhat heart shaped. Has a "big" Tomato flavor that we found to be very satisfying. We liked it a lot! Year after year, we hold this one in high regard. It is a total tomato machine. If you are a lover of yellows like I am, you ought to give this one a try along side your favorite.

Garden Peach
Yellow I enjoy growing Garden Peach. Similar to Wapsipinicon Peach, this one has a higher production and slightly smaller fruit. One of the things that really stands out about this one is the simple volume it cranks out. Sometimes I look at these plants and am astounded that they are able to even support that much fruit when it is going full full throttle. I also enjoy the feel of these - vaguely like it has a layer of velvet on it, like, well, a peach but not so heavy. I like the flavor of these too, pretty balanced and not dull. I even canned a bunch of these this season. I noticed that oddly, they seem to take longer to go bad sitting on the counter waiting for my attention. Just a sorta' fun one to grow. The color is yellow but a very pale shade. Ones that are protected from the Sun under the leaf canopy can almost appear white. |

Lemon Boy Hybrid
True Yellow
This is a perennial favorite of mine. I have grown it for years. Lemon boy is a clear, true yellow with out any orange cast or shading. What makes it remarkable is the production. I have had years where nearly every other type failed due to weather but there, chugging along, is Lemon Boy. One year, disease pressure was so high that it had nearly defoliated- but still, bright yellow tomatoes were hanging all over. This is a good example of hybrid vigor. It is even a great producer for the Fall garden. If you are a red Tomato person and the idea of any other color bugs you, try this one. You might become a convert to the world of "other" colored tomatoes!

Plum Lemon (AKA Wonderlite)
Yellow Paste
I grew this in the late 90's as Wonderlite. When I ran out of seed I went to reorder it and it was not available anywhere. I did not realize until years later that it had been renamed and it was right under my nose! Now I have seen it under both names. This is a really good plum/paste type yellow. Not really a big plant but has good production of bright yellow fruit- no real undertones of orange. The flavor is quite good too. It comes in at about 4-5 oz and is rather meaty. The original seed was collected in Moscow in 1991 by Kent Whealy, a noted Tomato expert. By the way, yes, it does look a lot like a lemon- pointed on each end.

Sun Ray
Bright Orange Gold
I always forget how beautiful Sun Ray is until I see it glowing in the garden. The name is very fitting. At about 6-7 oz., Sun Rays fruit is good sized and that intense color goes all the way through. In Lenny's notes she writes "big garden tomato flavor". I think that pretty darn much sums it up. Just a great Tomato you will enjoy growing.

Wapsipinicon Peach
Yellow indeterminate
Ok, here is an interesting little guy. Why peach? Well, the skin of the fruit has a light fuzz! Actually I believe all Tomatos have fuzz but it is so faint you don't really notice it. The Wapsi is pale, rather creamy yellow. Flavor has often been described as fruity. To me, it is simply sweet with some pleasant undertones. This is a smallish fruited variety- well suited to use in salads. Just that perfect size! Production is often times absurdly huge. Originated in Iowa in the late 1800's along the Wapsipinicon river. I used to live near there, years ago.
Mila
yellowish orange indeterminate
Picture a stretched out bowling pin with a fatter base. These weird 2-4 oz. productive snacker are from Russia and are just fun to grow. Great sweet flavor too.
