Overview
Taxi is an early determinate tomato from Johnny's Selected Seeds, released in 1986, and it is the bright lemon-yellow color of its baseball-sized fruit that gives it the name. Fruits run 4 to 6 ounces (about 115 g), semi-oblate and smooth with a small stem scar, and they ripen uniformly. The flavor is mild and sweet with low acidity, which appeals to children and to anyone who finds red tomatoes sharp, and the meaty flesh slices without weeping. Plants are compact, dark green and determinate, so a short stake or cage suffices, and the crop comes in a concentrated flush that is handy for processing or sharing.
