Favorite Orange/Yellows

[tomatoaddict]

I want to try some new (to me) orange/yellow maters this year. I have grown: KBX, Kellogg's Breakfast, Claude Brown's Yellow Giant, Persimmon, Nebraska Wedding, Peg's Round Orange. Not that any of them were bad, just looking for something new. Seems like I remember a thread where someone was talking about either Orange-1 or Orange Heirloom. Anyhoo, I just wanted to hear which ones blew your mind.

Try Homer's fike yellow oxheart..

I'll recommend the lowly Jubilee.
A good producer in my parts.
Flavorful too.

Dina is tops in my garden...Yellow Perfection is a very good large cherry/saladette that has a flavor that is addictive...Nice PL plants too...I can't grow a lot , due to our shorter season but Orange 1 is productive here...I am not a fan as it tastes sort of melon like...But I don't like melons...the interior color is beautiful and I use them for visual oohs and aahs...

Yes and another one its called okarivin or something its Russian maybe suze will step in and say/spell what it really is.
A real good orange/yellow tomato on a somewhat smallish plant. 5 to 6 feet.
One of the best of the orange/yellow tomatoes I have had, somewhat sweet.

Got it, it's called Ocharovanie it means charm.

Yellow: Azoychka, Tasmanian Blushing Yellow, Tom's Yellow Wonder
Orange: Orange-1, KBX, Orange Minsk, Sungold (F1).

I'd have to go with Porkchop aka Big Yellow Zebra, Great taste , great production.

There are darn few varieties that stay yellow at maturity but Lillian's Yellow Heirloom is one of them and quite good.

Almost anything with yellow as part of the name maturs to gold, so with that in mind, here's a few of my faves noting you didn't say they had to be beefsteaks.

Aunt Gertie's Gold
Orange Minsk
Earl of Edgecombe, deep orange
Big Sungold Select, Reinhard Kraft's latest OP cherry
Jaune Flamee
Medovaya Kaplya, new one on my offer list
Tangella, orange
Orange-1

Some oldies but great ones:

Dr Wyche
Yellow Brandywine (PLatfoot)
Dixie Golden Giant
Golden Queen ( USDA)

So often folks want the latest and newest ones to grow and leave in the dust some wonderful varieties that have been around for a while.

Jaune Flamee

I knew there was one I was forgetting, you cant go wrong with it.

Orange Strawberry has been the best orange/yellow for me so far. One of the people I gave plants to loved it and has started saving tomato seeds.

My favorite yellow is Little Lucky, technically a bi-color, but close enough and I really do call it luscious Little Lucky. My second favorite is Golden Queen USDA. Azoychka, I of course love for its earliness. They are yours if you want them.
Oranges I've not had a big favorite yet. I really like the flavor of Kentucky Beefsteak, but it takes a LONG time to get tomatoes.
I'm growing Aunt Gertie's Gold, Hilde's favorite, this year. I'm still deciding on others, and have the ones you suggested as ideas.

Grew Orange Minsk last year for the first time. It was one of my top 3 tomatoes for taste, production and all around lusciousness.

Taxi was a tomato machine taste was above average.

Both are getting ready to be potted up. Can't wait.

Jaune Flamme & Sungella (a cross between Sungold & Tangella I believe), had great flavour & produced well for us. kd

NO!

Besides it's a bicolor and Terry hasn't asked us about bicolors.
