We know the color may seem off-putting, but these are always a farm favorite both for their full-flavored sweetness and highly productive vines. Approx. 1” tomatoes that are not a true white but rather an attractive creamy pale yellow when fully ripe. Very good acid/sweet balance and an excellent addition to mixed cherry pints. The vines are rampant and need good support and the yields are outstanding. Yet another tomato we grow every year and are so happy to have discovered. If you have wondered why you would ever grow a “white” tomato take our advice and just grow them! One of our longtime friends Rio, grew them and LOVED them for the first time a few years back. She was turned off by the idea of a white tomato but realized her folly as she was helping us harvest (& eat). Sweet and bursting with rich flavor! Indeterminate. 70-75 days. UO
Transplant out after danger offrost (50+F nighttime temps).
Note: Don't start too early or plants will be leggy and root-bound! Tomatoes do well in clay to loam soils.
PLANTING DEPTH:
1/8-1/4"
SPACING:
18" spacing in rows 5' apart.
EMERGENCE:
10-14 days @ soil temp 70-85F
LIGHT:
Full sun
FERTILITY:
Medium-Heavy. Prefers well-drained, well-balanced fertile soil with a pH between 6.0-7.5. Note that excess Nitrogen will encourage foliage, not fruit! Low calcium and irregular watering will result in blossom end rot.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Row cover may be used for extra warmth and possible earlier fruit set.
Irregular watering can result in blossom end rot.
Plant deeply to encourage healthy root structure.
Indeterminate varieties may benefit from pruning suckers to encourage air flow, plant health, and energy towards plant top and fruit.
