Looking for a gold compact indeterminate... - Page 2

Give Dwarf Blazing Beauty a try. The dwarfs are not at all like determinates - they bear over a long season like indeterminates, but grow at half the rate vertically - perfect for an earth box. It is medium orange, just delicious - and tops out at 4 feet or perhaps a bit more.

Orange-1 may be one to consider. I've seen it listed as semi-determinate.

I'm thinking of trying it myself.

I don't know if any of these indeterminate, sweet, yellow, cherry tomatoes could be described as compact (probably not), but they might be worth investigating:

Sweet yellow indeterminate cherry

• Sun Gold
• Golden Sweet

Honeydrop (round)

• http://www.seedlibrary.org/honey-dro...ry-tomato.html

Honey Drop (pear-shaped)

Dwarf is a misleading category name.
Some of the are indeterminant and can grow 4 to 5 ft tall. Examples : Purple Heart , New Big Dwarf. Then there micros under ONE foot height .

Tried it in 2014. Grew well for me, but really too tart. Also tried Wherokowhai ( a mouthful to spell!). It was excellent tasting (IMO) and a nice plant, but had a real problem splitting when grown in an EarthBox. About the time I'd think they were just about ripe, they would split.

I'm trying several more dwarfs this season. I really like the dwarf "tree tomato" growth habit, especially since I grow most of my tomatoes in EarthBoxes now. Perth Pride is especially great, but do wish it had a better shelf life. It's a great tasting tomato with a healthy plant and the tomatoes look terrific.

But I'm still looking for "Golden Girl" in a dwarf indeterminate...

I would suggest Coastal Pride Orange. It is more blunt heart shaped to me but is a wonderful tasting tomato and very productive, also. It grows about the same size as the releases from the Dwarf Project.
