White tomatoes?

[Jared77]

Anybody have any experience with them? I was surfing the Baker Creek website and found them. They are odd looking but in that sort of can't look away from the carnage kind of odd vs a creeped out odd.

The White Queens are what caught my eye maybe Ill have ebony and ivory tomatoes this summer with my black krims and white queens! Or Japanese black trifles and cream sausages!

I already got some weird looks when I planted the black ones Im sure my family and friends will think I've totally lost it if I were to plant those. But a white tomato sauce would be something to serve. So if I suddenly go quiet on here its because I've been committed and will be tending a small bonsai plant and a sweet 100 cherry tomato plant in the Mitten State Mental Institution.

Yes, please grow a few and then let us know how they are! I'm just hoping to do well with some red ones this year, for a change.

Ivory eggs are DELICIOUS!! They are super easy to grow & very prolific.

I grew Snow Whites .

. . once.

They must be the only cherry tomatoes that get Blossom End Rot. Dis a ppointing!

I've grown lots of white tomatoes.

There really is nothing all that odd about them.

The WHITE BEAUTY variety is the one i would recommend the most. The plants are very healthy, they produce pretty good, and I never got any blossom end rot on any of them. Still, give them calcium from bone meal. they are tomatoes after all.

White Beauties make medium sized beefsteak type tomatoes, have healthy plants with nice thick regular foliage leaves. The tomatoes they make really are well named as beauties.

White tomatoes are actually very light yellow. As usual when growing a new color of tomato, figuring when they are properly ripe takes some trial and error. This variety will lose its green and go yellow white with almost no green left when ripe. They are good and normally sweet, and have a smooth mild flavor, and they smell absolutely delicious! Slice a nice one in half and put it to your nose. Mhmmm!

I grew Snow White in Montana and got no BER on them, but that variety was not as productive as some other cherry tomatoes. Everyone loved their flavor and candy like stickiness.

Still, for a first time white tomato grower, try WHITE BEAUTY.

White very cool, I was impressed when I found out there where yellow tomatoes. I was very limited to what the local supermarkets carried.

I'm that minority that think they had little taste thus give them no garden space.

I grew two varieties of white cherry tomatoes the last summer. One of those were my granddaughter Gypsy's (7) favorite tomato that summer (until she tasted my Black Sea Man). She said they tasted like candy. But, hey, she could live the summer just grazing around the property. Mom was a vegetarian before she was born and she'll eat just about anything that grows.

Love, Smart Red

Wow I flip right over that page and did give it a a look. Maybe I will get it back out. I just order from them Friday.

Be advised that all the white tomatos are low acid so you can't water bath can them. They have to be pressure canned.
