Valencia Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) - This heirloom tomato originates from Valencia, Spain. North American introduction dates back to the mid 1800s in Indiana and eventually throughout the New England states. Our seed source comes from an avid tomato grower near Woodstock, New Brunswick. Indeterminate vines produce rounded orange mid-sized fruits with few seeds. A very flavourful variety with smooth skin and firm texture. Requires staking, very good cold tolerance noted in late spring when transplants were lined out.
Indeterminate growth.
77 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.
