An old, generous variety that produces lovely little yellow tomatoes, juicy and enjoyable to eat.
What makes Yellow Plum special is the pleasant texture of its fruits when eaten fresh. Its small, plum-shaped tomatoes have a beautiful bright yellow colour. Their flesh is juicy without being mushy, and their mild, sweet flavour is accompanied by a slight touch of acidity that adds balance.
This very old heirloom has an indeterminate, vigorous and productive plant that provides an abundant harvest throughout the season.
Every variety has its own personality. The best tomato isn’t the one that everyone likes, but the one that finds its place in your garden, your kitchen, and your habits.
