Yellow and Dark determinates?
I'm still exploring the determinates and have found a lot of nice red and pink ones. I'm looking for some of in the general yellow category, and I was surprised to see that Carolina Gold is a determinate. Are their other in this basic color group (ie Yellow Brandywine, Kellogg's Breakfast, etc,) besides Carolina Gold?
And, are there any of the dark varieties *ie Cherokee Purple, Indian Stripe, Carbon, etc.) that are determinates? Thanks in advance. I was one of the first members here, and still enjoy the comments, feedback, and knowledge I get after being here 17 years. Don

The only ones I know are Black Sea Man for black; Sweet Tangerine hybrid and Taxi for yellow.

I have not grown all on this list but in my experience Black from Tula and Jaune Flamme have been reliably INdeterminate over many seasons.

I found the determinate Orange King (the Tim Peters variety offered by Adaptive Seeds) for our master gardener sales this year. I probably won't have a nematode-free space to grow it myself this year, though.
Here's a list of container tomatoes by color, though it seems to be mostly dwarf varieties, especially for dark tomatoes. https://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/...atoes_by_Color |

Every variety listed by Saltmarsh is indeterminate according to Tatianna's description. All very nice tomatoes by the way.

I recommend the Czech bush tomatoes Oranže. Nice color, very fertile and very good taste.

An older Minnesota-bred variety might fit the yellow:
https://victoryseeds.com/products/mingold-tomato Mine came from a trade with Craig LeHoullier before the dwarf project began. For me it's not quite as orange...very pale, about the color of Azoychka. Not from Craig, but from a ND seed saver came https://victoryseeds.com/products/golden-bison-tomato Sent from my motorola edge using Tapatalk

For darks, Charbonniere du Berry is listed as a determinate. I also have Elbonian Hip Deep, which only grows to about 3 feet, for me. I never looked for a terminal flower,
though. I know there are some in the yellow, gold, orange range, too. But, I will need to go through my collection to find them. PM me a mailing address if you'd like seeds. |

So far, I've found Orange Crimea, Orange You Glad, and Peachy Keen on my list of determinate Yellow/Gold/Orange tomatoes.
I don't know if they've been swapped away, or not. |

Are you open to Hybrid determinate tomatoes?
There are quite a few. Dwarfs as well. KarenO |
