Reviews

  1. AAS Display Garden – Backyard Farmer Garden – 11/26/2020

    We’ve planted Patio Choice Yellow in the Backyard Farmer display garden (Lincoln, Nebraska – Zone 5B) since it was named an All-America Selection. It has been quick to germinate, not fussy, has produced staggering quantities of delicious, attractive fruit, and is one of our favorites. It’s supposed to be determinate but has reliably produced at least two crops. The plants were still loaded with fruit when we had a late, hard freeze. in mid-October.

  2. Pam Harris – 08/23/2020

    I love this tomato. My plant defied its reputation and got over 3 feet tall. It produced 100’s of delicious tomatoes. It finished producing and I cut it back to pull it out and noticed a little side shoot coming from the bottom so I left it in the pot. It is now about two feet tall and today is full of blooms and I see a tomato on it. I am in zone 8 where it is very hot and I am amazed at this plant.

  3. AAS Display Garden- River Valley Master Gardeners – 08/16/2018

    Patio Choice Yellow produced early and set fruit through the heat of the summer in Zone 6a. With normal care, despite the heat and drought, one of our plants produced almost 600 of these tasty cherry tomatoes. The vines are short, ours were only 12 inches tall.
