St Pierre Tomato

I really love these tomatoes. They are easy to grow, and they have a good acidity. Be prepared to support your plants as they are really productive. Three plants yielded so many tomatoes that I'm struggling to eat/process them all.

Really nice tomato! I plan to grow this one again. Pretty, good sized, abundant fruit with great flavor. I've eaten them out of hand, and made soup and sauces with them and never did they disappoint.

We ordered seeds for this variety one time about five years ago.We save seeds from most everything we grow for replanting next season (sorry Baker Creek!). The first spring after planting they were coming up all over the back yard on their own. Now we just let them grow outside our garden, we get 40-100 volunteer plants annually and they are very productive, so yields are enough to share with the whole block. in addition to the high yields, they are by far the best tasting tomato we have ever grown, a good balance of sweet/acid flavor. Not a great canner, the wall thickness isn't much and they tend to break down during processing, just for fresh eating they are great! If you are a true canner and like to preserve different recipes for eating during the winter months try the Jersey Giant, (if you can find them.)

Bought one plant from a vendor at our farmers market, wish I had a dozen of these outstanding plants. This is by far the best flavored tomato I have tasted in many years. Most definitely will grow for years to come!

In the Finger Lakes region, St. Pierre takes the role of ending the season, coming into its heaviest production just after the mid-season slicers are beginning to taper off from their July flush. This is a very fine tomato, good plant health, needs good trellis. Break O'Day another similar and excellent variety. I would include this and Stupice as my go-to tomatoes to start and end the season, and choose 3-4 other varieties, including a paste like San Martino's Roma to fill in the middle: Kellogg's Breakfast X has done well, Cherokee Purple, Big Beef, and many others.
