If you enjoy Sungold F1, I recommend trying California Sungold!

Possibly one of the closest open-pollinated varieties to this hybrid, California Sungold is a remarkable success by developers Kanti Rawal and Steve Peters, who developed it from varieties associated with the breeding of Sungold F1.

Its orange cherry tomatoes are almost as sweet and fruity as Sungold F1, but their skins are less prone to cracking and splitting. An appreciated advantage when enjoying your harvest!

Every variety has its own personality. The best tomato isn’t the one that everyone likes, but the one that finds its place in your garden, your kitchen, and your habits.

You can share its seeds within your community: our seeds are reproducible.
