Maturing in 80 days, 'Summer Sunrise' is an indeterminate dwarf tomato variety characterized by its rugose, potato leaf foliage. By the end of the growing season, it typically grows to a height of four to five feet. This variety yields medium to large-sized (four to twenty-four ounces), smooth, bright yellow fruits with a distinct blossom end blush. 'Summer Sunrise' stands out from its similar counterpart, 'Summertime Gold,' due to larger seed cavities, slightly larger seeds, a more pronounced blush, and subtle flavor nuances. The fruits of 'Summer Sunrise' offer a well-balanced, full, and delicious flavor, while the plants exhibit strong disease tolerance and consistent yields throughout the season.
Originating from the "Dwarf Tomato Project," 'Summer Sunrise' was selected from the "Sneezy family," resulting from a cross between 'Golden Dwarf Champion' and 'Green Giant,' initiated by Patrina Nuske Small in Australia in 2005. Initially a selection of 'Summertime Gold,' it was discovered and named by David Lockwood after extensive selection work conducted with Susan Anderson. Primary efforts in refining 'Summer Sunrise' were led by David, Susan, Neil Lockhart, and Justin Morse, with additional assistance from Ted Maiden and Craig LeHoullier. It was first made available to the public in 2012 by the now-defunct Gleckler Seedsmen. Each packet of seeds contains approximately 20 seeds.
