Orange Pixie is a great patio tomato. The sturdy plants (2ft tall) have lovely dark green, rugose leaves. The plants are productive and the golf-ball sized tomatoes have a sweet-mild taste.
Our seed stock comes from long-time seedsaver Carol Knapp of Wisconsin. She originally grew out Orange Pixie and has been saving her own open-pollinated version for years.
Carol writes:
“This is one of my personal favorites. Its flavor is close to Sun Gold / SunSugar. The plant is dwarf and suitable for growing in a pot. The tomatoes are bigger than a cherry, more of a 2-3 bite tomato.”
