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. Though drought-resistant and adapted to arid conditions, the plant benefits from consistent moisture management—at least one inch of water weekly supports optimal fruit development and prevents stress-related splitting. The deep root system and vigorous growth habit allow these plants to access soil moisture efficiently, reducing irrigation demands compared to conventional varieties. Harvest occurs in approximately 70 days from transplant, with peak production during hot summer months when many other tomato varieties decline. These sustainable, Non-GMO seeds offer both climate resilience and refined flavor for discerning gardeners seeking reliable performance in challenging growing conditions. Each packet contains 25 carefully selected seeds with strong germination rates.
