Golden Heart Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) - This is a selection from an Italian heirloom gifted to us from a 'seedy' friend and seasoned grower near Grand Rapids, Michigan. We have not been able to identify the variety, however, it appears to resemble many characteristics of the Golden Jubilee and or the Spanish Valencia. Indeterminate vines produce heart-shaped orange mid-large sized fruits with few seeds. A very flavourful variety with a citrusy tango zest. This is a smooth skinned fruit with firm texture and excellent foliar disease resistance. Requires support since it is a heavy producer well into fall.
Indeterminate growth.
75 days to maturity.
25 seeds per packet.
Planting Instructions: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Sow ¼ inch deep and keep the soil warm. Transplant seedlings into 1" cells or 3–4" pots at the 1–2 leaf stage. Harden off plants for 4–5 days once the danger of frost has passed. Transplant outdoors when day and night temperatures consistently stay above 10°C.
