Yellow Fire – bicolored, heirloom, collection tomato seeds

🍅 Yellow Fire – bicolored, heirloom, collection tomato seeds

The Yellow Fire tomato is a decorative, bicolored heirloom (collection) tomato variety distinguished by bright yellow fruits with red–orange “flame-like” stripes. This variety is especially appreciated in tomato collections, where not only yield is valued, but also flavor, visual aesthetics, and the natural origin of the tomato variety.

Yellow Fire is a classic table tomato – mild, sweet, with a low acidity level and a very pleasant aroma. It is especially suitable for fresh consumption – sandwiches, salads, and appetizers. When thermally processed, Yellow Fire tomatoes lose part of their flavor, aroma, and visual appeal.

🌱 Sowing and growing Yellow Fire tomatoes from seeds

In Northern Europe
Sowing time: March – early April.
• Care should be taken to avoid cold drafts on windowsills and excessive moisture, which can promote the development of root rot.
• Light is very important — there is no need to rush early sowing; insufficient light causes seedlings to stretch, produce lower yields, and become prone to disease. If necessary, the use of grow lights is recommended.

Seed sowing depth: 0.5–1 cm
Tomato germination conditions: 22–26 °C

In Southern Europe
Sowing time: January – early March.
• Attention should be paid to preventing seedlings from overheating and ensuring the peat substrate does not dry out.

Seed sowing depth: 0.5–1 cm
Tomato germination conditions: 22–26 °C

🌿 Seedling cultivation for tomatoes

• Tomato seedlings are transplanted when 2 true leaves appear
• Seedlings are planted deep – up to the cotyledons, to form a strong root system
• Water evenly, avoiding excessive soil moisture
• It is recommended to form 1–2 stems to increase the yield of the Yellow Fire tomato variety
• Side shoots should be pinched carefully, not during the hottest part of the day, to prevent sunburn
• Before planting in the greenhouse or outdoors, seedlings should be hardened gradually, acclimating them to changing temperatures and weather conditions. Windy locations should be avoided to prevent damage to young plants

🌞 Growing in a greenhouse and garden

Growing the Yellow Fire tomato variety in Northern Europe
• The Yellow Fire tomato variety is best grown in a greenhouse or in a very sunny, wind-protected location
• When growing Yellow Fire tomatoes in greenhouses, it is important to ensure good ventilation and even soil moisture. Plants should not be placed too densely for space-saving purposes, as this reduces yield and promotes disease development

Growing the Yellow Fire tomato variety in Southern Europe
• The Yellow Fire tomato variety is suitable for outdoor cultivation, provided a wind-protected site is chosen
• In full sun, Yellow Fire tomatoes develop more intense coloring with clearly visible bright stripes, and their flavor becomes sweeter, which is appreciated by people who find tomatoes too “acidic,” as well as by children
• During the hottest periods, mulching and light shading are recommended for this tomato variety

🌿 Good and bad companion plants in the garden and greenhouse for Yellow Fire tomatoes

Good companions:
• basil, thyme, oregano
• onions and garlic
• marigolds, calendula
• early season – lettuce/spinach (until tomatoes “take up space”)

Bad companions:
• potatoes (high risk of late blight)
• other nightshades planted close together in high concentration (peppers, eggplants)
• corn and sunflowers (shade and compete for nutrients)
• cabbage (strong competition and moisture retention)

🌱 Fertilization

• Potassium enhances sweetness and vibrant coloration in tomato fruits
• Magnesium improves flavor and overall plant health
• Nitrogen should be used in moderation to prevent excessive foliage growth, which diverts nutrients from flowers and fruit set, reducing yield
