What This French Heirloom Tomato Actually Is
Solanum lycopersicum 'Jaune Flammée' is a French heirloom tomato, an indeterminate variety that vines and bears fruit continuously until frost. Plants set clusters of small to medium orange fruit, often with a flame-like blush, with a sweet-tart flavor that makes them a favorite salad and snacking tomato. Indeterminate vines grow tall and need strong support, producing over a long season rather than all at once. Fruit is well suited to fresh eating, roasting, drying, and cooking into light, golden-orange sauces. As an open-pollinated heirloom, it breeds true from saved seed. Grown as a warm-season annual, not frost-hardy.
