Tomato Gold Nugget
$3.90
Unit price perSolanum lycopersicum
Gold Nugget is an early cherry tomato producing heavy clusters of small, bright golden-yellow fruits. The tomatoes have thin skins and a mild, sweet flavour, making them excellent for snacking, salads, lunchboxes and colourful fresh platters.
Developed by Dr Jim Baggett at Oregon State University and released in the 1980s, Gold Nugget was bred specifically for cooler climates and shorter growing seasons. Its ability to crop early and reliably in relatively mild summer conditions has helped make it a popular home garden variety well beyond the Pacific Northwest.
The compact determinate plants have a tidy growth habit and are well suited to pots, smaller gardens and limited spaces. Despite their modest size, plants can carry an impressive crop and may benefit from light support when heavily laden with fruit.
Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram. Approximately 40 seeds per packet.
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: February–August
Subtropics: August–April
Mild climates: August–December
Cold climates: September–December, after frost risk has passed
Planting / Sowing
Sow approximately 5 mm deep into seed-raising mix or directly where conditions are warm. In cooler climates, seed can be started indoors approximately five weeks before transplanting after the last frost. Best soil temperature for germination is approximately 16–35°C.
Space plants approximately 40–60 cm apart with 60–150 cm between rows. Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Bush plants require little training, although support may be useful under a heavy crop. Water at soil level where possible and avoid waterlogged conditions.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
