Maiden's Gold

This precious heirloom was almost lost, but found and revived by Ted Maiden of Tennessee.  Maiden’s Gold is an old Southwestern Virginia family heirloom dating back to the 1950’s.  Ted had revived this plant from 22 year old seed in 2009.  In 2010 he grew the plant out with awesome results.

Maiden’s Gold is a great slicing tomato that holds that old fashioned taste, very mild, producing medium sized beefsteak fruit.  The fruit will ripen from green to yellow then gold.  It is an indeterminate, regular leaf tomato plant.

I am so glad this tomato was not lost for good.  Maiden's Gold really is a perfect looking orange tomato- indeed!  I am a huge fan and will grow this one again.
