Know before you buy
Indeterminate means the plant will continue to grow, flower, and produce fruit throughout the entire season until the first frost kills it. You will need to provide a sturdy trellis or stake to support the plant as it continues to vine.
No, these are not recommended for containers. Because they are indeterminate and have a spreading, branching growth habit, they perform best when planted directly in the ground with adequate space.
You can expect to harvest your first tomatoes approximately 75 days after planting. Since they are indeterminate, they will continue to provide a high yield of fruit consistently until the weather turns cold.
Yes, this variety is specifically noted for its low-acidity profile. This makes them a much milder, easier-to-digest option compared to many traditional, highly acidic tomato varieties.
These seeds are bred with resistance to Fusarium Wilt and Verticillium Wilt, which are two of the most common soil-borne diseases affecting tomatoes. This makes them a reliable, low-maintenance choice for home gardeners.
Plant the seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in soil that receives full sun. Ensure you space each plant 18 to 36 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and the plant's natural spreading habit.
