Overview
Roughwood Golden Plum is a San Marzano-style paste heirloom with an unusual color: the 2-inch plum fruits ripen to a mottled yellow-orange rather than red. Seeds are few, so the flesh is meaty and makes a pale, sweet-looking sauce. Plants are indeterminate and mature in the main season, so plan on a stake or cage and a harvest that spreads over several weeks. A good choice for cooks who want a golden sauce or a paste tomato that stands out in the garden.
