Overview
Gold Dust (212-90-3) is an early tomato from the University of New Hampshire, essentially a tangerine-colored version of 'Taxi' but firmer and larger. Fruit is globe-shaped, smooth and crack-free, around 160 to 165 grams, with a deep tangerine color in both skin and flesh, a small core and no blotch. It ripens uniformly from green and yields heavily. One source calls the vines indeterminate, but the breeder's register lists a very compact, open, determinate plant, so expect a manageable habit. Resistant to verticillium wilt race 1.
