2016 Tomatoes - Portland Nursery

2016 TOMATOES
Days to Harvest is estimated time it will take plants to bear ripe fruit from planting date.
Type indicates the category of the tomato. Beefsteak- Very large, dense fruits. One slice will make a sandwich. Cherry-small
fruited, great for snacking, grilling and salads. Includes grape, currant and Julianne (elongated cherry) tomatoes. Sauce- drier, meatier
flesh than other types, usually oblong in shape. Best type for canning, fresh cooking, sauces and salsa. AKA paste, plum or saladette.
Slicer- standard round tomato. Medium to large fruits great for sandwiches, salads and grilling.
Heirloom is any variety that has been around for 50 years or more. They come in all colors, shapes and sizes. Back when flavor was
the most important component, astute gardeners selected their favorites, saved the seed and passed them on to the next generation.
Saved seed should come true.
Determinate- “Bush” tomatoes that grow to a compact height, stop growth and then ripen all their fruit at about the same time.
They benefit from some support, generally should not be pruned, and can perform well in containers.
Indeterminate- “Vining” tomatoes that continue to grow, flower, set fruit, and ripen throughout the growing season until killed by
frost. They require substantial support/caging as they can grow to 10’ or more.
Standout characteristics- Includes a five star taste rating from Cornell University’s database when available.
