A good "middle of the road" slicing tomato, it is definitely more "UT orange" than gold ;o) Decent flavor and pretty in salads. I wouldn't recommend it for canning, though - it tends to get mushy.

A 1996 dark yellow fresh market tomato from the North Carolina State Univ., Fletcher. It is part of the mountain series despite the name and is an upgrade of the older Mountain Gold. It has resistance to verticillium wilt race 1, fusarium wilt races 1 and 2, and graywall.
