I am thinking about getting some White tomatos. Has anyone tried them? Do they taste good?

I plan on trying them as well. I wondered the same thing.

I'm going to try growing Polish Cream Sausage, Snow White, White Queen, and White Zebra. Adding White Tomesol if I can get seeds.

Cream Sausage is the only one I've grown before, but production was low because I didnt realize hw short it was going to be. It got overwhelmed by adjacent varieties. I'll knw to plant in front of the bed or in containers this time.

I have grown Snow white and Dr Carolyn and they were both very good.

I saw the Italian Ice cherry. I have too much new stuff this year, maybe next.

From what I hear White Tomesol is a must grow and maybe one of the best.

Apple ask Blane or Darth for some seed of White Tomesol. Here is a pic

I have only grown Coeur de Boeuf Blanc myself, and Snow White, a cherry. They were both pretty good, the cherry was good and sweet, CDBB was a big heart paste. This year I will be growing one called Weapons of Mass Destruction (white sport). You will not find this anywhere though so don't look.

Not a huge fan of whites myself.

If you would like some seed Pm me smallgardener.

I can't give out any WOMD (white sport) though. This is still a work in progress actually just found last year.

Thanks, SGT, but I think I am going to get some of the Italian Ice cherrys.
I am needing a cherry tomato anyway to round out my Hybrids. this year it will be. Brandy Boy, Mortgage lifter, Fourth of July, Rutgers and Italian Ice Cherry. I am starting to realize there are more tomatoes than I thought.

I have seeds to a few white varieties but have yet to try them.

My opinion of "white" tomatoes is that they are generally tasteless. Almost all are like the photo above: light yellow rather than white. White Queen is the lightest I have grown. If you are growing for a novelty, go for it. If you want tomatoes with flavor pick another.

I have grown White Tomesol as well, quite a few years ago. I think all white tomatoes are milder tasting, but they can also add pretty contrast when slicing in a salad.
