Know before you buy
Indeterminate tomatoes continue to grow, flower, and produce fruit throughout the entire growing season until the first frost. Because they grow continuously, you will need to provide sturdy trellising or cages to support the vines as they reach their full height.
No, this variety is not recommended for containers. Because it is an indeterminate plant that grows vigorously, it requires the space and stability of an in-ground garden bed to thrive.
You can expect to harvest your first ripe tomatoes approximately 67 days after transplanting your seedlings into the garden. Since it is an indeterminate variety, you will continue to get harvests well after that initial date.
The Orange Paruche is bred for resistance to Fusarium wilt (F 1), Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV), and Tomato Mosaic Virus (ToMV). These resistances help ensure a more robust plant and a more reliable harvest throughout the season.
These tomatoes prefer a soil pH between 5.5 and 7.0. Ensure your planting site receives plenty of sunlight and has well-draining soil to support the plant's moderate water needs.
When stored in a cool, dry place, these seeds have a viable life of approximately three years. They maintain a minimum germination rate of 80%.
