Notes
'Citrine' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Citrine') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of rabbits, though hungry rabbits will eat almost anything. The fruit matures in 60 days, and the orange flowers attract bees.
Pairs well with Long Island Mammoth dill, Flashback Mix calendula, and Excelsior cucumber.
