Plant Features

Chef's Choice Orange tomatoes are garden standouts, celebrated for their vibrant, flavorful fruits that brighten any dish. This hybrid variety yields large, orange beefsteak tomatoes typically weighing 9 to 12 ounces, with smooth, firm skin that resists cracking—perfect for slicing into salads, sandwiches, or fresh eating. The flesh is meaty and juicy, offering a sweet, low-acid tomato flavor with a citrusy tang that earned it a 2017 All-America Selections award.

Why grow Chef's Choice Orange? This indeterminate plant produces a steady crop through the season, known for its vigorous growth and robust disease resistance, including Fusarium Wilt, Verticillium Wilt, and Tobacco Mosaic Virus. Its bright color and exceptional taste make it a top pick for gardeners and chefs seeking a versatile, high-quality tomato that thrives until frost, delivering consistent yields with culinary flair.

Grown naturally and pesticide-free, our Chef's Choice Orange starter plants arrive healthy and ready to flourish in your garden. Nurtured with care, they promise a bountiful harvest of these striking, delicious tomatoes.
