Cherry tomato 'Gold Rush'

Product number: 291238
Origin: Central and South America
Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum

A very accessible tomato, due to its great taste and compact growth! The warm yellow, round snack tomatoes are about 1 cm in diameter, grow on elongated trusses and are deliciously sweet! The plants grow in pots or in the garden and reach about 1 m in height.

The smallest tomatoes in our assortment are called cherry tomatoes or ping-pong tomatoes, depending on their size. Some varieties are elongated or heart-shaped and are given a slightly different name accordingly. Some are even original, wild species. Most taste extra sweet; a few have a sweet-sour taste. Cherry tomatoes are closest to the original species, which is perhaps why they are generally more resistant to the dreaded potato blight.
