Golden Queen Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) - This is a very prolific producer of very pretty yellow shouldered medium sized tomatoes, giving way to a bottom fired sunrise of golden flames. This heirloom is another A.L. Livingston introduction of the late 1890s. Our seed source comes to us from an apple grower/customer near Anne Arbor, Michigan (2019). We were assured these would be added to our catalogue and so we lined out 50 plants in June of 2021. Apple orchardist certainly can 'pick' out the good tomatoes! Thank you Scotty! We were so pleased with these vigorous, disease resistant plants and fruit that we have offered them for sale for 21/22. These plants are very heavy producers, so heavy in fact, they completely knocked over our trellis system by early August! Also, no notable cracking after heavy rains. A indeterminate vine with abundant fruit, must be staked or trellised. Great in salads, sauces and on pizza (if you enjoy tomato on pizza)! A 'must grow' of delightful low-acid, gorgeous tomatoes!
Indeterminate growth.
78 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.
