Certified Organic. 75 days to maturity.

Speckled Roman Paste Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is an exceptional indeterminate variety producing abundant, striking 5-inch-long, red fruits adorned with jagged orange and yellow stripes. The meaty flesh contains few seeds, offering a rich, robust flavor ideal for sauces, pastes, and fresh consumption. Its unique appearance and culinary versatility make it a standout in any garden. 

5-6 weeks before transplanting sow ¼" deep in 50 cell trays or 4" pots depending on transplant timing. Harden off in partial shaded environment before transplanting. Transplant after last frost date 24-36" apart in rows 4-6' apart. Plant deeply to encourage adventitioius root growth. Use basket weaving or vertical trellis methods to support plants throughout the season. Prune leaves up to 12"-18" to increase airflfow for disease reduction. Indeterminate varieties benefit from "suckering", the process of removing suckers from the plant.
