About Sun Gold
Sun Gold is an indeterminate cherry hybrid that produces long trusses of bright golden-orange fruits with an intensely sweet, almost fruity flavor. The vigorous vines bear early and keep producing until frost, with some tolerance to Fusarium wilt and tobacco mosaic virus.
Growing Sun Gold Tomato
The tall vines grow quickly and need a large cage or trellis with ongoing tying. Ripe fruits are thin-skinned and prone to cracking, so pick promptly and keep watering consistent. Harvest when the fruits turn deep golden-orange, and check the plants every day or two during peak season.
