Indeterminate means the plant will continue to grow, flower, and produce fruit throughout the entire growing season until the first frost. Unlike determinate varieties that ripen all at once, these plants require staking or caging to support their continuous upward growth.

These tomatoes are considered a medium-to-large slicer, typically weighing between 8 and 12 ounces. Their size and juicy texture make them ideal for fresh eating, salads, or sandwiches.

Because this is an indeterminate variety that can grow quite large, it is best suited for in-ground planting or very large, sturdy containers. If using a container, ensure it is at least 5-10 gallons and provide a heavy-duty support system.

Sow the seeds 1/4 inch deep in your starting medium. When transplanting your seedlings into the garden, bury them deep—up to the first set of true leaves—to encourage strong root development along the buried stem.

The fruit is ready to harvest when the pink skin shows its characteristic green metallic stripes and the tomato feels slightly soft to the touch. They mature in approximately 75 days from transplanting.
