Know before you buy
Determinate plants grow to a fixed size and ripen their entire crop over a short period, usually two to three weeks. This makes them an excellent choice for gardeners who want to harvest a large amount of fruit at once for canning or sauce-making.
You can expect these golden-yellow fruits to weigh between 8 and 12 ounces each, making them substantial slicers perfect for sandwiches or fresh salads.
Yes, the Carolina Gold is specifically noted for its low-acid content, which often results in a milder, sweeter flavor profile compared to traditional red varieties.
While they are determinate, the plants still benefit from staking. Providing support helps keep the heavy fruit off the ground, which improves air circulation and prevents rot.
This variety offers resistance to VFF (Verticillium wilt, Fusarium wilt races 1 and 2) and grey wall, a physiological disorder that causes blotchy ripening in tomatoes.
You can expect to start harvesting your tomatoes approximately 73 days after transplanting them into your garden.
