Description

(Solanum lycopersicum). The light yellow, almost white, fruit has superb taste and texture! The flavor is complex, spicy, sweet, and very fruity. The fruit is small, around 2 inches, and the skin is slightly fuzzy like a peach! This Iowa heirloom is named after the Wapsipinicon River, a meandering tributary of the Mississippi in northeastern Iowa.

Growing Tips: The Wapsipinicon Peach tomato is a small yellow heirloom variety that grows best in full sun with well-draining soil. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging. Use a heat mat to speed up germination if necessary.

When to Grow

Start seeds indoors 6-10 weeks before your area’s last frost date. Transplant outdoors after frost risk has passed and temperatures stay above 60 F. Check your local area’s frost dates for precise timing. 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, maintaining a temperature of 70-80 F. Harden off seedlings before transplanting. Space plants 24 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart, using stakes or cages for support.

How to Grow

Use rich, organic soil amended with compost. Water consistently to avoid drying out the soil. Feed plants every 2-3 weeks with a balanced fertilizer. Regular pruning of suckers can improve airflow and direct energy to 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.
