Description

Super Italian Paste Tomato is a classic plum-type variety prized for its thick, meaty flesh, low seed content, and rich, sweet-tart flavor. The elongated fruits are ideal for sauces, pastes, and canning, as they cook down quickly with minimal water content, producing a dense, flavorful result.

This vigorous paste tomato is a reliable producer over a long harvest window, making it a favorite for gardeners who want consistent yields for processing. The plants are highly productive and benefit from support to handle heavy fruit loads.

• Type: Annual tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
• Growth habit: Indeterminate
• Start indoors: 6–8 weeks before last frost
• Transplant: After all danger of frost has passed
• Sun: Full sun
• Spacing: 24–36 inches
• Days to maturity: 75–85 days

Tomatoes grow best in warm, fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture and strong sunlight. Indeterminate varieties like this continue growing and producing fruit throughout the season, so staking or caging is essential for support and airflow. Regular harvesting encourages ongoing production, and mulching helps retain soil moisture and reduce disease risk from soil splash.
