Know before you buy
Indeterminate means the plant will continue to grow, flower, and produce fruit throughout the entire season until the first frost. You will need to provide a sturdy trellis or stake to support its continuous upward growth.
No, this variety is not recommended for containers. Because it is an indeterminate plant that produces heavy clusters, it requires the space and stability of a garden bed to thrive.
While these tomatoes need fertile soil, avoid excessive nitrogen, which encourages leafy green growth at the expense of fruit production. Incorporating compost into your soil before planting is the best way to provide the balanced nutrients these plants need.
Under optimal conditions with soil temperatures between 70-85ºF, you can expect germination in approximately 7 days. Ensure the soil remains consistently warm to help the seeds sprout successfully.
These tomatoes offer a balanced, complex flavor that combines sweetness with a pleasant acidity. The texture is notably meaty, making them a great choice for fresh eating or adding color to salads.
This variety is highly productive, with each cluster holding 12 to 16 individual fruits. Because it is an indeterminate hybrid, it will continue to set these clusters throughout the growing season.
