Scotland Yellow - Tomato

Solanum lycopersicum

Story: another treasure originally from the heritage seed library, the Scotland yellow is a sturdy abundant tomato, with small-medium (but bigger than a cherry tomato) golden yellow fruit. Very sweet and tangy, with soft skin. 

When to sow: from late March to early April if you will be growing the plants outdoors.

Requirements: nutrient-rich soil, regular watering, and a lot of sun.

Harvesting: in south England, typically July/late summer.

Isolation Required: No 

Saving Seed From Tomatoes: Allow the tomatoes to fully ripen on the plant then cut them open and squish the seeds out. Seeds need to be fermented to remove the sticky gel that surround them see our video on seed saving from tomatoes for the technique.

Please remember, if you’re an individual grower you can order up to 3 packets of seeds. If you order more than this, you will receive just three packs to begin with. This is to ensure we get plenty of data in return and to keep our stocks sustainable for years to come.* 

*Community groups and Experienced Growers can order larger quantities, please email us if this is the case.
