Old German Heirloom Tomato
Growing Old German Heirloom Tomato
‘Old German’ is an heirloom tomato prized for its enormous orange-red fruits and traditional garden character. Boat-shaped tomatoes develop thick, meaty flesh and make especially impressive slicers.
Start ‘Old German’ 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 during warm summer weather.
Ready to harvest in about 75 days, pick fruits once they reach full size and develop their mature orange-red coloring.
Large, meaty, and flavorful, ‘Old German’ is especially well suited to slicing.
