Tom's Yellow Wonder
A very interesting tomato ..indeed
Seeds were sent to me by our very own Tomstrees. The first one I had was good and ripe, I wouldn't say over-ripe as the consistency was not mushy. It had sweetness and a blush of crimson that strongly reminded me of a real good bi-color. The tomato above is shown just to the left of this big boy. It was 8 ounces. That big fella is more the norm than the little one. This tomato plant can turn out some whoppers. I call that shape 'Popeye chin' it's not catfaced or multi-lobed per se ..It just looks like Popeye's chin after Bluto let him have it. You get a lot of Popeye chins with Tom's Yellow Wonder. This is a juicy complex tasting tomato. The consistency of the flesh is perfect, it melts in your mouth. You get a burst of flavor right off the bat, not over-whelming but fruity by no means mild. The over-all flavor is mellow and fruity with a hint of sweetness after the initial burst. I'm glad I grew it, it has out performed any other large yellow in my garden this year. Thanks for the seeds Tom Bully |
