My father and I got a little greedy this year with the tomatoes. We planted 30+ tomatoes plants across 6 raised beds. We planted 8 variates of tomatoes. Some of them never appeared to produce fruit.
However, there is one tomato that seems to have made it in every bed…we did not plant this variety. They are not Sungolds (we planted sungold) they are much bigger. They stay yellow and never seem to mature to any other color. Also they are sour as hell. We have no idea how they popped up in every bed and seem to be thriving to the point where they have choked the growth of other tomatoes.

Wow. Wish we had productive invasive tomatoes!
Azoychka maybe. They are supposed to be tart.
They are yellow tomatoes. You, or your Dad have obviously planted them.
They look very much like sunsugar tomatoes but i am having a problem gaging the size. It’s more orange than yellow when ripe. They are sweeter than cherry tomatoes, slightly less tomato flavor. Sunsugar tomatoes are about the with of your thumb.
Did you by any chance plant a green tomato, green zebra for example turns yellow when fully ripe
It might help by listing the 8 varieties that you planted.
Invading? I’ll be happy to take that nuisance off your hands
This reminds me of a nor mutant. nor is a ripening inhibitor that is present heterzygous (one of both parents of a hybrid) in many commercial varieties to improve shelf life and reduce cracking.
I don’t think this is a yellow or orange tomato as those have a different colour.
Do you use compost in your garden this could explain how it got there.
Those leaves look potentially spider mitey
They look like Sungold. But they are probably some sort of hybrid.
