My favorite tomato is “Esterina.” It is a golden colored cherry tomato, very much like “Sun Gold” but better in my opinion. It is less prone to cracking than “Sun Gold” and I think the flavor is more delicious. In fact, in head-to-head taste tests at JCMGA picnics, “Esterina” twice won over “Sun Gold” as more flavorful. Unfortunately, it is hard to find either seed or transplants, but I encourage you to be persistent as it is well worth growing and may become your favorite too.
