Plant Characteristics

Gold Nugget is an early-maturing, bright golden-yellow cherry tomato prized for its candy-like sweetness. They have a very sweet, mild and fruity flavor, similar to other gold tomatoes like Sun Sugar or Sungold. They are juicy and thin-skinned with a tender flesh, offering a melt in your mouth, candy-like taste. They are exceptionally low acid, making them very gentle on the stomach. Gold Nugget tomatoes are round to slightly oval, weigh less than an ounce each and measure about 1 inch in diameter. When picked early, the tomatoes are often completely seedless (parthenocarpic). Ideal for fresh snacking and adding bright color to salads. As a determinate variety, it grows to a height of 2-4 feet, produces its tomatoes over a short, heavy harvest window and then dies. The plants grow into compact, manageable bushes, making them a fantastic choice for small gardens, patios and large containers. Highly productive plants yield clusters of golden-yellow cherry tomatoes in 55-60 days, making it one of the fastest producing tomato varieties. Plants thrive in both cooler northern climates and hot southern summers.
