Jaune Flamme
It's in one of the top 10 this year, I like the taste. Not big but lots of tomatoes. Plus they look good in an egg carton, I'm getting. $5/dozen!

They look beautiful in that carton.
(But I worry if it's not a new egg carton ... https://eggsafety.org/faq/is-it-safe...e-egg-cartons/ ) |

Reuse
The tomatoes are nice; that is the main point, I'd guess.
It's also nice you are able to at least reuse the polystyrene—a petroleum-based product—egg cartons. |

I love this variety,always have and always will.The original source in France is not known,but my seeds were from Norbert in France in 1992.Page 138 in my heirloom tomato book.
There's also a Jaune Negib, also from Norbert,but not as good as the one pictured here in this thread in my opinion. Carolyn

I planted around 25 different cherry tomatoes this year, so far mainly a waste of time.

Will have to include it in my next year's grow list, it was really tasty when I had it some years ago.

I put my first Jaune Flamme in this year and I love it. Incredibly productive, and most excellent fruit. Nice balance of sweet, acid and other flavors. I'll be doing those again next year.

Glad to hear they're doing well for you. Jaune Flamme really impressed me for the steady production and uniform pretty fruit. A really nice market tomato.
I am growing Helio this year and it is shaping up to be a producer. All full clusters with sturdy stems, I like the look of em. Still waiting to taste.. |
