description

Organic Great White Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is an heirloom, indeterminate annual variety remarkable for its large cream to pale yellow fruits that are mild, meaty, and highly decorative. The vigorous plant reaches approximately 1.8 to 2.1 m (6 to 7 ft) in height and requires a sturdy stake or strong cage to support its growth and generous harvests. Its dense, juicy, low-acid flesh offers a delicate, refined flavor that is especially enjoyable fresh. In the vegetable garden, its pale fruits create a bright contrast among red and dark tomatoes while adding an original touch to summer salads and platters.

Organic Great White Tomato should be sown indoors from February to April, about 6 to 8 weeks before the last expected frost in Canada. Seeds germinate well between 21 and 27°C (70 to 81°F), in a light, fertile, well-drained growing mix. Transplant young seedlings once they have several true leaves, then gradually harden them off before planting outdoors or in large containers. Set plants in full sun, in organic-rich, slightly acidic to neutral, well-drained soil. Deep, regular, and even watering, combined with mulch, promotes high-quality fruits and helps reduce moisture fluctuations.

In the garden, Organic Great White Tomato is ideal for family vegetable gardens, edible gardens, heirloom tomato collections, and large 45 to 60 cm (18 to 24 in) diameter containers on sunny patios. It grows well alongside basil, chives, and parsley, while avoiding proximity to potatoes, fennel, and kohlrabi whenever possible. Its yellow flowers attract bees and other pollinating insects, supporting vegetable garden biodiversity. Harvest fruits once they develop an even cream color and become slightly soft to the touch.
