Description

Oregon Spring Tomato is an early, cool-tolerant slicing variety known for producing smooth, medium-sized red fruit with a rich, balanced tomato flavor. The tomatoes are juicy with a pleasant mix of sweetness and acidity, making them excellent for fresh eating, sandwiches, and early-season salads.

This dependable variety is especially valued in short-season and cooler climates, where it sets fruit reliably even in lower temperatures than many standard tomatoes. Plants are compact and productive, delivering an early, concentrated harvest that helps extend the tomato season in challenging growing conditions.

• Type: Annual tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
• Growth habit: Determinate
• Start indoors: 6–8 weeks before last frost
• Transplant: After all danger of frost has passed
• Sun: Full sun
• Spacing: 18–24 inches
• Days to maturity: 55–65 days

Tomatoes grow best in warm, fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture and strong sunlight, though Oregon Spring is more tolerant of cool conditions than many varieties. Determinate plants produce their crop over a shorter, concentrated window, making them ideal for early harvests and smaller garden spaces. Light staking or cages help support fruit clusters, and regular harvesting encourages efficient ripening and yield.
