Description

(Solanum lycopersicum). This exotic-looking beauty has the best taste of any paste tomato we have tried. The flavor of this big paste tomato will put a regular Roma to shame! Incredibly flavorful and so sweet! The super-long, 6-inch fruit of this paste tomato has very few seeds and thick, sweet flesh. Try making this meaty, sweet variety into paste or marinara. You won’t be disappointed! Our favorite for snacking, too!

Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs

Growing Tips

Select a sunny spot that receives 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. Plant in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0 to 6.8. Water deeply and consistently once or twice a week, to keep the soil evenly moist. This indeterminate variety will need sturdy support, such as cages or stakes, to manage the vines and elongated fruits.

When to Grow

Start seeds indoors 6-10 weeks before the last frost date in your area. Transplant seedlings outdoors only after the danger of frost has passed and temperatures stay above 60 F. Check your local region’s frost dates to determine the best timing.

How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep in seed-starting mix and maintain a soil temperature between 70-80 F for optimal germination. Harden off seedlings over a week before transplanting. Space plants 24 inches apart to give them enough space for growth and good airflow.

How to Grow

Water evenly at the base of the plant to prevent wet foliage and reduce disease risks. Fertilize with a balanced or tomato-specific fertilizer at planting and every 4-6 weeks. Prune suckers to improve air circulation and focus energy on fruit production. Mulch to retain moisture and reduce weed competition.

How to Save

  • 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.
