Overview
Sungella came from crossing the popular Sungold with a larger orange-skinned heirloom, and the result is a golfball-sized orange tomato of about 2 ounces carried in trusses. The flavor is low in acid, in keeping with its Sungold parentage. Indeterminate plants need staking and ripen in the main season around 70 days.
