Salvaterra's Select

VEGETABLES / TOMATO
RED
67 days from transplant (zone 4B), indeterminate — The regular leaf plants produce 7 ounce, pointy, plum-shaped, fruits that are red in color. This variety is a little later in my garden than my other paste tomatoes, but they are vigorous and high yielding. The fruit are perfect for making salsa, sauce and paste. Seed saved in 2018 from 25 plants isolated 160 feet from nearest different variety tomato. From SSE 2018: “Winner of our 2017 Tomato Tasting - Paste/ Sauce division. The great meaty texture is paired with tangy, sweet flavor that make it an ideal sauce tomato. Fruits measure 2½-3¾". At Seed Savers Exchange (zone 4B), it was a bit later maturing but had above average productivity. Grown by Charles Salvaterra since the ear-ly 1980s, this heirloom tomato has been shared within the Hazleton, Pennsylvania community since the 1950s. Indeterminate, 70-80 days from transplant.” Learn more: https://www.seedsavers.org/salvaterras-select-organic-tomato
