Red Sausage Tomato
Growing Red Sausage Tomato
‘Red Sausage’ is an open-pollinated tomato prized for its unusual elongated shape and meaty interior. Deep red, sausage-shaped fruits have fine flavor and dense flesh that is especially useful for processing.
Start ‘Red Sausage’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants 24 to 36 inches apart, and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety performs well through warm summer weather.
Ready to harvest in about 76 days, pick fruits once they reach full size and deep red maturity.
Meaty and distinctive, ‘Red Sausage’ is especially well suited to ketchup and sauces.
