The Amish Paste Tomato is a late 1800’s Amish heirloom from Lancaster, Pa via Wisconsin.
Great sauce tomato, sweet and heavy yielding. Plants are continously laden with whopping clusters of deep red, one pound, acorn or heart shaped fruits that have thick, sweet flesh with few seeds.
Grows tall, needs staking or good support. Large for a canning type.
The ultimate sauce type yet also good for slicing and drying. Exceptional for salsas.
Indeterminate.
75-85 Days.
Approx 45 seeds per pack
Planting Instructions
Indoors: 5 - 7 weeks before last frost sow 1/4" deep and keep soil evenly moist at 60- 70 degrees F. When the second set of leaves appears, transplant seedlings to individual pots.
Harden off 2 weeks before setting out, when weather is fully warm, in a spot with at least 8 hours of sun daily. Plant seedlings up to 2" under the first leaves, at least 3' apart. Water deeply and well in dry weather.
Outdoors: Sow as above, directly in site when weather is warm.
