Territorial Seed Company Legend Tomato Seed

Determinate plants grow to a fixed size and ripen their entire crop over a short period of time. This makes them an excellent choice for gardeners who want to harvest a large amount of fruit at once for canning or fresh eating.

The Legend variety was specifically developed at Oregon State University for its tolerance to late blight fungi. While no plant is completely immune, this variety is a reliable choice for gardeners in regions where blight is a common seasonal challenge.

Parthenocarpic fruit can develop without the need for pollination. This is a significant advantage for early-season gardeners, as the plant can set fruit even when temperatures are too cool for bees or other pollinators to be active.

These seeds have a life span of approximately three years. To maintain the minimum 80% germination rate, store them in a cool, dry, and dark environment, such as an airtight container in a refrigerator or a climate-controlled pantry.

While the seeds themselves are not certified organic, they are a TSC Select variety. This means they are untreated and suitable for use in organic garden systems.

These tomatoes are best enjoyed fresh off the vine. For the optimal flavor profile, avoid refrigerating them, as cold temperatures can alter the texture and diminish the sweet, slightly acidic taste.
