\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Dr. Wyche’s Yellow is an indeterminate<\/strong>, mid-late season heirloom introduced by circus owner Dr. John Wyche<\/strong>. It produces large, meaty, bright orange-yellow beefsteaks. Growers praise its incredibly sweet, well-balanced flavor and long harvest window. While it thrives in greenhouses, it also sets fruit reliably outdoors and is noted for being a heavy, sturdy producer right up until the frost. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Didn’t find a thread for this one, feel free to merge if there is one.
\nGrew this tomato in my greenhouse. Pruned the vine to 3-4 stems. The plant is tall, sturdy, and highly productive (didn’t let me down on yield or flavor despite a very cold summer). Some of the fruits are slightly ribbed, large, and meaty. Pleasant flavor, leaning on the sweet side.<\/p>\n

Svetlana, I bought this variety from Redko, and she lists it simply as Dr. Wyche’s. That’s why I used that exact name for the thread.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

…Besides the yellow one, the circus director also bred a red variety, and private sellers here sell both, listing the exact origin, full name, and the breeder. So this one definitely needs the “Yellow” added to it. Just an example of how the seller of this variety in Russia doesn’t care about the tomato’s history or its creator, just using a sloppy “whatever works” approach.<\/p>\n

I got my seeds for this from Kulik. Grew it in the greenhouse. Pruned it to two stems. The vine didn’t seem overly massive to me. Reached 5.6-6 ft (1.7-1.8 m) tall. Yield was average. But the flavor totally blew me away. Very beautiful, uniform tomatoes, flat-round shape (a bit more flat than round). Literally the best tasting yellow\/orange tomato of my 2015 season.<\/p>\n

Like Alena wrote on September 19 — “still fruiting”, I can definitely confirm this is a long-season producer. My first fruit (pictured earlier) was from July 21, and here’s a photo from November 29 when we finally pulled the vines. This plant was growing under cover, in super rocky soil like you see in the photo.<\/p>\n

The variety grew very vigorously in the greenhouse, reached up to 6.5 ft (2 m) tall. The fruits are incredibly tasty, sweet, and meaty. Average yield.<\/p>\n
