Growing Porter Tomato
‘Porter’ is an open-pollinated Southern tomato prized for exceptional drought tolerance and dependable yields under difficult conditions. Small, smooth, plum-shaped fruits mature dark pink and remain productive through hot weather.
Start ‘Porter’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ to ½ inch deep, space plants 36 to 84 inches apart, and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety performs especially well in warm, dry climates.
Ready to harvest in about 78 days, pick fruits once they reach full size and mature dark pink color.
Flavorful and dependable, ‘Porter’ is excellent for salads and canning.
