Tomato Plum Indeterminate Porter is a revered heirloom developed in Texas to thrive in hot, dry climates where many tomato varieties struggle with heat stress and water limitations. Its vigorous, sprawling indeterminate vines yield abundant, tender, smooth, deep pink fruits that are distinctly egg-shaped and weigh 2 to 4 ounces each. The elegant coloring and refined appearance make these tomatoes visually striking in the garden and on the plate, while their exceptional sweetness and thin skin deliver superior eating quality. These 1½-inch plum tomatoes excel across multiple culinary applications—fresh slicing for salads, cooking down for rich sauces, canning for preservation, and juicing for fresh tomato beverages. The tender flesh and minimal seed content make processing efficient, yielding substantial product from each fruit. The thin skin develops beautiful color as fruits mature, signaling peak ripeness and optimal flavor development. As an indeterminate variety, Porter produces continuously from mid-summer through the first frost, delivering extended harvests on plants reaching 6–8 feet tall with proper support. 

Germination Rate: 80%. Test Date: 1/26. WILL.

This is an heirloom seed, meaning it has been passed down from generation to generation for at least 75 years. As a rule, heirloom seeds taste better and will grow the same year after year.

These are also open pollinated meaning they will reproduce themselves. While all heirlooms are open pollinated not all open pollinated seeds are heirlooms.
