Sungold

Sungold is a popular variety of cherry tomato, scientifically known as Solanum lycopersicum. It is renowned for its exceptionally sweet flavor and vibrant golden-orange color. Developed by Thompson & Morgan, Sungold tomatoes are a hybrid variety, meaning they are a cross between two different parent plants, which contributes to their desirable traits.

These tomatoes typically grow on indeterminate plants, which means they continue to produce fruit throughout the growing season until the first frost. Sungold plants are known for their prolific fruiting, producing clusters of small, round to slightly oval tomatoes. The fruits ripen relatively early compared to some other tomato varieties. Their taste is often described as intensely sweet with tropical undertones, making them a favorite for snacking, salads, and light cooking. Due to their thin skins and high sugar content, they are best enjoyed fresh. Sungold tomatoes are also relatively disease resistant, contributing to their widespread appeal among home gardeners.
