Very mild but good flavor, attractive small pale yellow fruit. Hit by late blight and most of the green fruit I saved after destroying the plants did not develop lesions and were edible, unlike most varieties. Plants are smallish. Yield is acceptable but not high. I grow this one every year. |

Charming little tomatoes that really do resemble peaches. The tomatoes may be little but the plant is big and rangy and produces a LOT of them. Fortunately, they keep fairly well - up to a week, if handled carefully. The skins are a bit thick and I prefer them peeled. Flavour is mild but delicious. |

These tomatoes are a household favorite for the flavor that is both earthy and fruity. They are also early, prolific and can handle dry hot summers. |

This tomato is fuzzy mild and very very sweet. Through our growing methods, we achieve very high sugar/minerals in our tomatoes to begin with, so all of our tomatoes are sweeter than what most people get. You don't need any sugar in tomato sauce made with our tomatoes. But the peach comes out exceptionally sweet and is a great salad tomato. We are going to stop growing these, however, because even for local markets they are extremely fragile to transport. While the skin is tougher, the interior bruises quite easily. So I would highly recommend these to the home gardner looking for something different. |

One of the oddest tomatoes I grow. They have a light fuzz and a unique taste that is unlike any other tomato. People either love them or hate them, there is no middle ground with my customers. They are very productive and have come up volunteer the next year they are so hardy. |

Garden Peach is a lovely pale yellow fuzzy tomato with a hint of lingering green. The fruits are smaller--about the size of a grocery store Roma tomato only not as oblate. Ours were very juicy with a firm skin. They were relatively mild flavored but still had a lingering pleasant tomato taste. They were far better than anything I've ever bought at the grocery store! |

Did well in hot dry Utah. Lots of tomatoes.
Flavor was pretty mild.
Easy to grow. I do not get much sun in my yard about 6-8 hours. |

Seeds germinated well, plants are healthy so far. Produces fruits about 2" in diameter, pale yellow, with peach fuzz. Very beautiful sliced. Yes, they are mild. Mine are rather impressively meaty. They are a novelty everyone remarks about. Nice if you have room for variety. There are other "white" type tomatoes I'd like to try. |

I only grew this one year. Interesting color and skin texture, but very bland taste and unpleasant (to me), soft texture. |

This tomatoe makes a nice lunch box edition, but if you like big tomatoe taste don't plant it. It didn't have as heavy yields as other varieties either. |

Very tasty, but not the heaviest producer. Fairly early. Cute, and rather novel- it's fuzzy! (hence the name) |

Bland, flavorless, high moisture, seedy. Even the rodents and birds that nibble our tomatos wouldn't touch these. Not worth the space. |
