Growing Chef's™ Choice Yellow Hybrid Slicing VFT Tomato
Chef's™ Choice Yellow Hybrid Tomato Seeds deliver big, meaty beefsteak tomatoes with a luminous golden-yellow color and a uniquely sweet, citrus-like flavor. Expect a balanced bite with lively acids and sugars, firm texture for clean slices, and an eye-catching hue that brightens salads, sandwiches, and platters. Plants produce heavy crops of flattened, globe-shaped fruits with a satisfying, old-fashioned tomato character upgraded by modern hybrid reliability.
Maturing in about 87 days, these indeterminate vines are built for season-long production in full sun. The fruit averages 9–10 ounces with substantial flesh that holds well after harvest, making it a dependable slicer for everyday use. Strong disease resistance to Verticillium Wilt, Fusarium Wilt (Race 1), and Tobacco Mosaic Virus helps keep vines healthy and yields consistent, even when conditions aren’t perfect.

All my Chef Choice tomatoes this year did not grow as expected. The Yellow, Black, and Orange all grew as random red tomatoes.

Was excited to find a disease resistant yellow tomato. These are beautiful, but red! Same thing happened with the chef choice black. They are also red.
Disappointed

Planted Chefs Choice Yellow for good friend who cannot eat red tomatoes. I normally don't plant yellow tomatoes. Waited with excitement to be able to give yellow tomatoes to my friend. Sadly for him my CCY are all very red. Not mad, because stuff happens, but very disappointed. Same thing happened a few years ago with another seed company but, I got a yellow when it was supposed to be red! They made it right with all the customers who had bought those seeds. I traded work, hay and red tomatoes to get some yellow for my friend. I would love to know what I have instead of the CCYs.

I planted quite a few plants of the Seeds N Such Chefs Choice Yellow and so far the first 3 to ripen have all been mid sized, red and uniformly shaped. Not bad tomatoes but a little disappointed as CCY is one I was really excited to try.

My Chef's Choice Yellow Tomatoes turned out to be red tomatoes. Not exactly what I was looking for.
