Santiam Sunrise Cherry Tomato
Many many people have tried to de-hybridize the popular Sungold hybrid tomato. (The actual parentage is, like most hybrid breeding lines, a proprietary secret.) Santiam Sunrise is a new cherry tomato that aims for similar flavor, but takes a somewhat different approach. Breeders Andrew Still and Sarah Kleeger write: "Flavor is comparable to Sungold but not quite as fruity, rather a bit sweeter. Not tart like other attempts. Andrew likes it better than the hybrid because it lacks the overwhelming taste that can get tiresome. We can eat Santiam Sunrise all day long. Tall indeterminate vines are productive & less prone to splitting than Sungold yet still tender skinned. A continuing selection from crosses with Russian cherry tomato material." This is open-pollinated so you can save seed from your tomatoes for further selection and adaptation to your climate. Pledged as an open-source OSSI variety. 25 seeds
