How to Grow Dr. Wyche's Yellow Tomato From Seed

By Maxim Kaufman — Founder & CEO, Organo Republic

Updated July 2026

Dr. Wyche's Yellow is a heavy-yielding heirloom that bears large, golden-yellow beefsteak tomatoes with smooth, meaty, crack-resistant flesh. It is an indeterminate (vining) tomato that grows tall and produces all season long, so give it a sturdy stake or cage and room to climb. The flavor is sweet, mild, and low in acid, a rich golden tomato that is anything but bland. Grow it for generous harvests of beautiful yellow slices for sandwiches, salads, and platters.

This is the quick guide to Dr. Wyche's Yellow. For the full step-by-step on starting seeds, transplanting, feeding, and troubleshooting tomatoes, see our complete guide to growing tomatoes from seed.

Quick start

Start Dr. Wyche's Yellow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last frost, keeping them warm at 70 to 80F until they sprout. Transplant only after all danger of frost has passed and the soil is at least 60F, setting each plant deep so two-thirds of the stem is buried. Space plants 24 to 36 inches apart and give every vine a sturdy stake or tall cage, since this is a tall, all-season indeterminate. Expect the first large, golden-yellow beefsteaks about 80 days after transplant.

Best tip

Dr. Wyche's Yellow is a heavy-yielding heirloom, so feed steadily and support the vines well to carry a big crop of large fruit. Its smooth, mild flesh has few cracks, but keep watering even through heat to hold that quality.
