Ukrainian Purple Tomato

Ukrainian Purple Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) This is a wonderful heirloom tomato with Ukrainian origins to the southern rural region of Kiev. Our seed source came to us in 1999, courtesy of the Zelinski family of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Expect high yields of 5 to 7 ounces of purplish-red plum tomatoes that are quite meaty and flavourful. Gorgeous plum-shaped fruits that are 3-4 inches long and generally crack-free.

Indeterminate growth.

75-80 days to maturity.

25 seeds per packet. 

Planting Instructions: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in warm soil. Transplant seedlings into 1-inch cells or 3–4 inch pots at the 1–2 leaf stage. Harden off plants for 4–5 days once the risk of frost has passed. Transplant outdoors when day and night temperatures consistently stay above 10 °C. Provide support such as cages or stakes to manage vigorous indeterminate vines and maximize harvest.
