    I have grown Dr. Carolyn in my zone 8a north Georgia garden for 2 years. It is a tasty tomato, nicely round, larger size cherry tomato. It is more a pale ivory color, not really yellow, making it a nice addition to a carton of mixed color cherry tomatoes. It succumbs to some disease pressure and it does not last through brutal August heat and humidity.

    (65t days). This indeterminate heirloom yellow cherry tomato is the most flavorful of any of the yellow cherry tomatoes on the market.
