Sounds like some kind of "switcheroo". My very prolific, and very tasty Big Beef Hybrid this year produce lots of Red Globe-shaped tomatoes.

Where did you get this plant that produced YELLOW fruit??

What were the size and shape of the YELLOW fruit??

I suspect a commercial purchase and someone switching the tag before you got there.
