Opalka Heirloom Tomato
Growing Opalka Heirloom Tomato
‘Opalka’ is a Polish heirloom tomato prized for its elongated pepper-like shape, dense flesh, and rich flavor. Deep red fruits have a low seed count and meaty texture that make them especially valuable in the kitchen.
Start ‘Opalka’ 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 produces generous yields throughout the season.
Ready to harvest in about 85 days, pick fruits once they reach full size and deep red maturity.
Rich, dense, and meaty, ‘Opalka’ is excellent for sauces, pastes, and everyday cooking.
