The Snow White cherry tomato is a high-yielding, indeterminate heirloom variety known for its sweet, balanced flavor and pale yellow, almost-white color. It is highly productive and an excellent choice for salads, snacking, and garnishes.
Characteristics
Color: The fruits ripen from green to a pale, ivory cream or pale yellow when fully mature. This unique coloration adds visual appeal to dishes.
Taste: Unlike many other white tomatoes, the Snow White has a rich, sweet tomato flavor without being too sugary. Its flavor is balanced by a hint of acidity, with notes of citrus and pineapple.
Size: These are medium-to-large cherry tomatoes, typically weighing 1 to 2 ounces per fruit and measuring about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
Plant Type: As an indeterminate variety, the plant has vigorous, tall-growing vines that continue to produce fruit throughout the growing season until the first frost. It requires sturdy support from stakes or cages.
Maturity: Fruits are typically ready to harvest within 70 to 90 days after transplanting.
Uses
The Snow White cherry tomato's balanced flavor and mild acidity make it a versatile ingredient.
Fresh eating: They are perfect for snacking right off the vine.
Salads: Their unique color and sweet flavor make them an attractive addition to fresh salads.
Drying: The fruits work well for drying.
Containers: Their compact size makes them suitable for growing in containers, pots, or hanging baskets.
Growing tips
Sunlight: Tomato plants require full, direct sun exposure for at least six to eight hours daily.
Soil: Use a fertile, well-drained soil rich in compost. Adding dolomitic lime can provide calcium to prevent blossom end rot.
Watering: Provide consistent moisture by watering regularly at the root level, avoiding the leaves to prevent disease. Mulching helps retain soil moisture.
Support: Because of their indeterminate, vining growth habit, the plants require a stake, cage, or trellis for support. Install the support system early to avoid damaging the plant later.
Harvesting: Pick the tomatoes when they turn a pale golden-yellow and are firm but slightly soft to the touch.
