Banana Cream Tomato Seeds (Solanum lycopersicum) – Rare Heirloom, Pale Yellow Fruits with Creamy Texture and Sweet, Low-Acid Flavor

Minimum: 15+ Seeds

If you’re searching for something rare, beautiful, and deliciously unique, the Banana Cream Tomato deserves a special place in your garden. This heirloom gem produces clusters of pale yellow to creamy-white fruits that practically glow on the vine. Unlike bold, tangy reds, these tomatoes offer a mild, sweet, low-acid flavor with a soft, creamy texture that makes them a joy to eat fresh right off the plant.

When I grew Banana Cream for the first time, I was stunned by how delicate yet productive the plants were. The fruits, about the size of small plums, shone like little drops of sunlight among the foliage, and their smooth, mellow flavor made them irresistible as a snacking tomato. They were the ones I found myself reaching for most often during summer harvests.

🌟 Why Grow Banana Cream Tomatoes?

• Rare heirloom: Hard-to-find variety that stands out in any collection.

• Unique fruit: Creamy pale-yellow tomatoes with subtle beauty.

• Flavor profile: Sweet, mild, and low in acidity, perfect for sensitive stomachs.

• Versatile size: Small fruits ideal for salads, snacking, and garnishes.

• Productive vines: Indeterminate plants yield generously all season.

📜 History & Heritage:
Though less well-known than classic red slicers, Banana Cream is cherished among heirloom collectors and seed savers. Its rarity and unusual creamy-yellow skin make it a prized variety for those seeking tomatoes beyond the ordinary. Growing it feels like keeping a living piece of history alive.

🍴 Culinary Uses:

• Fresh eating: Sweet and mellow, perfect straight from the vine.

• Salads: Adds soft color contrast and a creamy bite.

• Platters: Gorgeous in mixed heirloom tomato displays.

• Cooking: Great in light sauces where a less acidic profile is desired.

• Kids’ favorite: Its gentle flavor and bite-sized fruits make it perfect for family gardens.

🌿 Growing Tips (garden-tested advice):

• Start indoors: Sow 6–8 weeks before your last frost date.

• Transplanting: Move outdoors once soil warms and nights stay above 55°F.

• Spacing: 24–36 inches apart; indeterminate vines need staking or caging.

• Soil: Rich, loamy, well-drained soil with added compost.

• Watering: Keep evenly moist to prevent splitting; mulch helps regulate.

• Feeding: Apply tomato fertilizer every 3–4 weeks.

• Harvest: 70–75 days from transplant. Fruits are ready when they turn pale creamy-yellow and yield gently to touch.

💡 Pro Tip: Banana Cream’s pale skin can make it tricky to know when they’re fully ripe. Look for a slight softening and a warm cream-yellow hue rather than pure white before picking for best flavor.

🌍 Perfect For:

• Heirloom collectors: Rare and unusual tomato variety.

• Home gardeners: Grow something unique and conversation-worthy.

• Chefs & food lovers: Adds soft elegance and gentle flavor to dishes.

• Market growers: Rare color draws attention at farm stands.
