Medium sz tomato that tastes like Sungold???

sparkie22 · June 29, 2014

Any recommendations for a medium sized tomato that tastes similar to Sungold? Since I'm a new gardener, I have no idea!

If you can find one, you will make a million!

You beat me to that punch line Scott! LOL! Actually, there IS a paste tomato that has somewhat similar flavor it is called Orange Banana.

You can tape a few together!!

To me, its a taste it's own.

Khurma a.k.a. Russian Persimmon is the closest in taste for me.

Thanks for the replies! I will have to grow ones suggested next year!

So, who's going to make the Khurma/SunGold cross next year?

Andrey - Have you ever tasted Orange Banana? Its pretty similar, but obviously not a juicy tomato.

Sungold seems to have a savory element to it, just outstanding. After growing it this year along with a few other cherries, I'm not sure I will grow but only sungold for my cherry tomato. I wish there was a larger tomato with that same flavor and texture.

I highly recommend the newly released Dwarf Blazing Beauty from the dwarf project. Not the same as Sungold, but a complex zippy flavor.

I was wondering how the flavor of BSS, DBB, and Russian Persimmon compare to Juane Flamme and Earl of Edgecomb?
