this summer my family fell in love with sungolds, surprisingly as a processing tomato. When I came across amish gold, it piqued my interest. I read this luckypeach.com/all-in-the-family-tomato/ . However,I have came across conflicting reports in my research. I am really interested in sunmama , however I haven't came across any seed sources. Is this pedigree correct, or is this a case of common regional name confusion? Thanks ! |

It may not be commercially available. Best source may be making friends online someone growing it who is willing to trade. Easy to find such folks on the dedicated tomato forums. I don't know which tomato forums are currently active. Tomato people tend to be intensely passionate, so Tomato Forums are much given to flaming, factionalism, strife, competing origin stories, and schisms. They can be an excellent place for great tomato information. Tomatoville used to be a very knowledgeable forum, Tomato Depot was good for tomato breeding info. But that was a few years ago, and it wouldn't surprise me if the tomato forum world has changed many times since then.

Never heard of Sunmama and don't know of any known varieties which may also be known as that. Possibly just what someone is calling something else.
If you have your choice as to which story to believe about Amish Gold, go with the Kentucky origin. Owner of Tomatofest has sometimes been given to manufacturing histories.

Martin It seems like naming tomatoes is more psuedo than actual science. It makes it hard to make crosses for a layperson. It seems like stories sell seeds rather than genetics in some circles... |
