The first thing that comes to mind about growing Orange Orangutan tomato is its productivity. For such a large variety it’s high producing. Big, beautiful yellow and red, bi-colored fruits an weigh one pound. Our largest this year was 1.4 pounds. Plants are about 5-6 feet tall and vibrant. They begin to ripen their fruits about 85 days from transplant in the garden. Our plants particularly loved the hotter, drier weather when some other varieties were struggling. But early staking is essential for a fantastic harvest. Orange Orangutan is a good selection for sandwiches and garnishing but should sell well at the market also. Try cooking or stew with this one!
