Growers’ Notes and Photos (USDA Zones 3-4 Experience)
Dixie Golden Giant turned out to be a heavy yielder in my greenhouse. It’s a tall vine (reached 6.5 feet / 2 m) and mid-season. The fruits were large, orange, oblate, and slightly ribbed. Delicious, meaty, and sweet with fruity notes in the flavor profile.
Hands down one of the standouts of the 2017 season. VERY tasty, gorgeous, and super productive. It starts out orange-yellow, but takes on a lot more pink blushing when fully ripe.
What a solid variety! If you’re a fan of orange tomatoes, plant this one, you won’t regret it 👍 Healthy, productive, and absolutely delicious 😋 Big thanks to Irina (Pani Tomat) 🙏!
I started seeds for this one hoping the fruit size would actually live up to its name. But as it turns out, everybody has their own definition of how much a tomato with “Giant” in the name should actually weigh.

Full Summary: Plant Size, Flavor, and Yield
- 🌿 Plant: A highly vigorous, mid-season indeterminate vine that easily hits 6.5 feet (2 m) in a greenhouse. Growers note the vines are robust and very healthy.
- 📈 Yield: Excellent. It consistently produces heavy sets of beefsteaks.
- 👅 Taste: Universally praised for its top-tier flavor. The flesh is meaty, very sweet, and carries distinct fruity notes. Multiple growers listed it as a top favorite of their season.
- 🍅 Fruit: Oblate, slightly ribbed beefsteaks. They start yellow-orange and often take on a prominent pink blush when fully mature. A few growers mentioned that despite the “Giant” name, the fruits tend to fall into standard large-beefsteak territory rather than record-breaking weights.
- 🌎 Who Reviewed It: Four growers across USDA Zones 3 and 4 (Moscow Region and Kemerovo).
