Yellow Cherry Tomato
This compact, “dwarf” tomato variety is larger than our standard Cherry Tomatoes but will still fit perfectly on your Gardyn. This yellow variety produces masses of incredibly sweet, 1-inch round fruits that ripen to a bright, golden-yellow color. While yellow tomatoes do not contain the antioxidant lycopene and quite as much vitamin C as red varieties, they do contain high amounts of folate, iron, phosphorus, potassium, niacin, and zinc.
