The Sweet Tangerine tomato is a medium to large sized heirloom variety, averaging six to eight ounces in weight, with thin smooth skin and a glowing orange color. It is referred to as a beefsteak-type tomato because of its globe shape and dense, meaty texture. It has a high flesh-to-juice ratio and its narrow seed pockets have minimal seeds. Its flesh has a low to moderate acid level and a complex tangy yet sweet flavor. The high-yielding, regular-leaf Sweet Tangerine tomato plant is a determinate variety, characterized by its short vines and compact growing habit, reaching an average height of four or five feet. Also known as “bush” varieties, determinate tomatoes generally have a heavy fruit set over a relatively short period of time, and many, like the Sweet Tangerine, have a tendency to mature and be ready for harvest early. Once fruit sets on the terminal bud, the plant stops growing and the fruit commonly ripens around the same time, after which the plant will die back. The Sweet Tangerine tomato plant is very disease resistant and drought tolerant, and reportedly does well in hot and humid temperatures, but is a good choice for cooler and shorter growing seasons as well.
