Love Moravsky Div. Thanks for mentioning, Carolyn. I saved seeds from last year's batch and crossing fingers they grow true this year.

Is the tomato called Tangerine worth considering?

carpenterlady · April 17, 2011

I don't have any experience with Tangarine. It is a midseason 80-85 days to maturity. So it should do ok. That is the maximum days to maturity I try in Minnesota. Recruiterg has Djena Lee's Golden Girl, which is a medium orange slicer. If you don't do Tangarine that may be comparable. I would love to try Djena Lee's Golden Girl. It is a Minnesota heirloom.

For other orange tomatoes, recruiterg and I both have KBX, an orange beefsteak. Which is superb tasting. I also have Orange Strawberry, an oxheart, and Kellogg's Breakfast, a beefsteak, and Orange Blossom F1.

I highly recommend KBX which I am growing again. I am trying Earl of Edgecombe this year in addition to Djena Lee's Golden Girl.

Welcome-looks like you will be a Wisconsin gardener

I live about 20 miles from Osceola and know that there is a great nursery just north of you in St Croix Falls on 35. They carry several heirloom varieties. Good luck!
