Know before you buy
Stupice is an early-maturing variety that typically reaches harvest in 60 to 65 days after transplanting. Its cold tolerance allows it to perform well in cooler spring temperatures, helping you get fruit on the table sooner than many other heirloom varieties.
Yes, because Stupice is an indeterminate variety, it will continue to grow and produce fruit throughout the season until the first frost. You should provide a sturdy trellis, cage, or stake to support the vines as they grow.
A potato-leaf variety refers to the shape and texture of the plant's foliage, which is smooth and broad rather than the deeply serrated, lacy leaves found on most tomato plants. This is a classic trait of many heirloom tomatoes and does not affect the flavor or care requirements of the fruit.
While these plants are highly productive, they are not recommended for container gardening. They are best suited for in-ground planting where they have ample space to support their indeterminate growth habit.
Stupice tomato seeds have a viable life of approximately 3 years when stored in a cool, dry, and dark environment. They maintain a minimum germination rate of 80%.
