Lemon Giant?

[AlittleSalt]

Are Lemon Giant and Giant Lemon the same variety of tomatoes? I found info at http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Lemon_Giant. But searching for pictures only resulted Giant Lemon.

I have it as

which is the same as Lemon Giant as Tania notes and pretty sure it will be, or might be listed in my next seed offer.

Very often Russian varieties are anglicized and that's a problem.

Salt they probably are but you cant take my word for it.
This is why I dont get too involved with tomato names and collecting a thousand different verities.
To me it is stressful to say the very least, I dont need stress.

Most of the time I want to be able to go in my garden and be able to tell what things are without labels and record keeping.
This means if the cat Smokey flips the seedlings over I dont care because when they produce I know what they are.
To add to this when I collect seeds i only process one verity at a time.
This way if I send seeds you can rest assured they are what they say they are.
I simply will not grow two red beef steak tomatoes in the same year from the same type plants.
Something is going to have to be different.
Be it plant leaf type dwarf or something.
This may sound very limiting but it isn't.

Could the above Giant lemon be the same as Lemony that is also from Russia?
I have no idea.

Worth, Limmony, the correct spelling, is not the same. I trialed Limmony for SSE after they received it, two plants and one was what I call a mule plant, that is, a huge plant with not one blossom.

Carolyn, and see my post above

Thanks, that cleared that up.
I was hoping you would respond and when I posted my post I read your post when I saw we posted at the same time.

I have had two Mule plants so far in my gardening experience.
One was Copia and the other NAR.
Darnedest thing I have ever seen.

As for spelling I cant spell lemon right half the time anyway living this close to Mexico and shopping in Mexican type markets.
In Spanish lemon is spelled limon and said different as in lemony and a lime is lima said like lema.

I would sure like to found a clear yellow, not gold or turning gold color, tomato that isn't sweet or fruity. Just a beautiful sunshine-y one.

This may very well be what you are looking for.

It's funny that you all brought up Limmony. In my list of seeds, I have Lemon Giant - next in line - Limmony. Both seed varieties came from Worth earlier this year.

I have Huge Lemon Oxheart:

It's huge and at least pale lemon. It is not an oxheart at all, though. I liked it well enough to try it again.

The variety that fits your requirements very well is this one, and note that there are very few clear epidermis ones that do that, Basinga being another one.

Carolyn, also noting that while several in the link referred to it as being sweet, there are many of us, who have found neither, that for us it has a much more complex taste. And glad I put up that thread on taste perception and human genes.

Thanks ! I know what to grow this summer ! The yellow ones are so pretty against the leaves.

One big plus about growing tomatoes other than red and pink is many people dont know what they are and wont steal them.
Some ladies walking down the street one day asked what mine were I told them tomatoes.
Both as old as the were (70's) said they had never heard of a yellow tomato.
This is unbelievable, what rock have they been living under?

Yellow, gold how many shades are there ?
I grew AZOYCHKA this past season and I think it is yellow. I'll grow it again.
Taste wise, it is not sweet but juicy and balanced.
You see them next to a bunch in the photo. I think I must have picked it early as you can see green still there.
