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 Guide

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. 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 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 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.

What gardeners are saying

  • Very productive: Short, stout plants loaded with fruit, even in rough conditions.

  • Sweet paste flavor: Meaty with few seeds; sweet and great for sauce, salsa and canning.

  • Compact plants: Plants stay short and bushy, easier to stake than tall vines.

  • Ripens off the vine: Picked green, the fruit ripens indoors and keeps for weeks.

  • Heads up: Fruit drops, splits, gets end rot and ripens unevenly; pick early.
