Description

(Solanum lycopersicum). Famous for rich, sweet flavor! These beautiful beefsteaks are fruity tasting, justly earning top marks in our tomato tasting trials. We noted sugary sweet and complex flavor with a hint of peach. Plants require sturdy staking, as they are large and wildly productive. A real favorite and wonderful variety for home and market gardens. From Fred Hempel of Artisan Seeds.

Growing Tips: Plant in full sun with rich, well-draining soil. Keep the soil evenly moist but avoid overwatering. Orange Jazz tomatoes are indeterminate, so they will grow throughout the season and require sturdy supports like stakes or cages. Regular pruning of suckers promotes healthier growth and larger fruits.

When to Grow

Start seeds indoors 6-10 weeks before your last frost date. Transplant outdoors only after frost danger has passed, and the temperature is consistently above 60 F. Use your local frost date to time seed starting precisely. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post "Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources."

How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep in seed-starting mix indoors, maintaining soil temperatures of 70-80 F for germination. Use a heat mat if necessary. Provide 6-8 hours of light daily using grow lights or a sunny window. Harden off seedlings for about a week before transplanting, spacing plants 24 inches apart.

How to Grow

Water deeply once or twice a week, depending on weather conditions, and mulch to retain soil moisture. Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting and a phosphorus-rich fertilizer during fruiting. Use cages or stakes to support the plant as it grows. Prune suckers and yellowing leaves to improve airflow and focus the plant’s energy on fruit production.

How to Save Seeds

  • Most tomatoes are self-pollinating and don't frequently cross; in a garden setting, separating by 25 feet should prevent 99% of cross-pollination. Or you can bag and hand pollinate for 100% purity.
  • On a small scale, seeds may be scooped from the fruits and dried on a paper towel.
  • For larger quantities or cleaner seeds, fermentation for a few days is recommended.
  • Once dry, tomato seed can be stored in a cool, dry, dark place; good seed retains viability for 5 years or more.
