‘Savignac’ Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). The Solanum lycopersicum ‘Savignac’ tomato is an organic heirloom variety with great character, known for its vigor, productivity, and remarkable fruit quality. In the garden, it develops a robust indeterminate plant that grows confidently when properly staked, then produces an abundant harvest of brilliant pinkish-red tomatoes. Its round, generous fruits impress with both their large size and their dense, juicy flesh, promising a rich and balanced taste experience. Their sweet flavor makes them a highly prized tomato for fresh eating as well as for homemade preserves.
Recommended sowing period: March to April. The sowing depth should be 0.5 cm (1/4 in). Germination usually takes 7 to 14 days. For germination, maintain the potting mix at 22 to 28 °C (72 to 82 °F). Transplant young tomato plants when their true leaves have developed and the roots hold the root ball sufficiently. Provide them with strong light to limit stem elongation. A short, vigorous plant will recover more easily than an etiolated one. During acclimatization, gradually increase the time spent outdoors and bring the plants indoors if nights become cold again.
The Savignac tomato is chosen as much for its fruit type as for the available space in the garden. Observe the described size and habit for this variety before planning your supports and harvests. Install tomatoes in a location where the clusters remain accessible from an pathway. Orient the supports so as not to shade lower crops. Planting in rows is practical for guiding the stems, while a few isolated plants allow for harvesting closer to the patio. Maintain sufficient distance between the foliage of tomatoes and that of their neighbors to facilitate care and air circulation.

Growing method
Recommended sowing period: March to April. Sow at a depth of 0.5 cm (1/4 in). Germination usually takes 7 to 14 days. For germination, maintain the potting mix at 22 to 28 °C (72 to 82 °F). Transplant young tomatoes when their true leaves have developed and the roots firmly hold the root ball. Provide them with ample light to prevent stem elongation. A short, vigorous plant will recover more easily than an etiolated one. During hardening off, gradually increase the time spent outdoors and bring plants indoors if nights become cold again. Soil temperature is as important as the calendar date when planting. Keep the lower foliage off the ground to reduce splashing when watering. Tie stems with a flexible tie that allows for thickening. Inspect fruit clusters at the same time as ties: fruit weight increases rapidly as they grow. Mulch on already warmed soil helps maintain consistent moisture and keeps the lowest fruits cleaner. The growth habit primarily guides staking and pruning.
Soil and care
The right care,at the right time.
Care level
Regular during establishment, then adapted to growing conditions
Watering
Regular
Soil type
Rich and well-drained
Fertilization
Fertilization supports growth and takes into account the nutrients already present in the soil or potting mix. Use mature compost or a fertilizer suited to the crop, following the dosage instructions. Avoid using too many different products, especially in a container where the roots occupy a limited volume. Water as needed after application and observe foliage development before re-fertilizing.
Moisture
Keep the soil moist during germination, avoiding standing water; then adjust according to the crop.
Seasonal care
The Savignac tomato is chosen as much for its fruit type as for the space available in the garden. Observe the size and habit described for this variety before planning your supports and harvests. Transplant young tomato plants when their true leaves have developed and the roots are holding the root ball together sufficiently. Give them bright light to limit stem elongation. A short, vigorous plant will recover more easily than an etiolated one. During acclimatization, gradually increase the time spent outdoors and bring the plants indoors if nights become cold again. Soil temperature is as important as the calendar date when planting. Keep the lower foliage away from the soil to reduce splashing when watering. Tie the stems with a flexible tie that allows room for them to thicken. Inspect the clusters at the same time as the ties: the weight of the fruits increases rapidly as they grow. Mulch on already warmed soil helps maintain consistent moisture and keeps the lowest fruits cleaner. The growth type mainly guides staking and pruning. A determinate tomato keeps its productive branches; severe pruning can remove part of the harvest. An indeterminate tomato requires more management as it grows. Observe fruits that are approaching their final color and pick them without crushing neighboring clusters. In the garden, it develops a robust indeterminate plant that grows confidently when properly staked, then yields an abundant harvest of bright pinkish-red tomatoes.
Container growing
A garden,within reach.
Suitable for containers
Yes
Recommended pot size
Punctured and stable container, wide enough for the plant to spread out and deep enough for the roots
Choose this exposure: full sun. Space plants: 50 to 70 cm (20 to 28 in). Potted tomatoes need enough potting soil so that their root ball does not constantly go from very dry to soggy. Place the support before the roots fill the container. A stable pot that is heavy at the base will better withstand wind as the foliage thickens. As the fruits form, check the moisture more often and water the entire root ball rather than just wetting the surface. The Solanum lycopersicum 'Savignac' tomato is a great-tasting organic heirloom variety, known for its vigour, productivity and remarkable fruit quality. In the garden, it develops a robust indeterminate plant that grows confidently when well staked, then produces an abundant harvest of bright pinkish-red tomatoes. Its round, generous fruits impress as much by their good size as by their dense, juicy flesh, which promises a rich and balanced taste experience. Their sweet flavour makes them a very popular tomato for fresh eating as well as for homemade preserves.

Garden associations
In goodcompany.
Companion plants
In a diversified planting, you can reserve neighboring sections for these plants: basil, bell pepper, garlic, marigold. The association here serves to organize space and harvests. Respect the height, light, and water needs of each plant, without crowding the foliage. Maintain an aisle for watering and picking, then remove finished crops to free up space. This organization facilitates maintenance without promising protection against pests. Install tomatoes in a location where the clusters remain accessible from an aisle.

Edible parts
Ripe fruits
Cooking idea with 'Savignac' Tomatoes: Tomato salad for four servings. Slice or quarter 600g of ripe tomatoes and arrange them in a dish. Add one small chopped green onion, 15 ml of olive oil, and 10 ml of cider vinegar. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and sprinkle with a few basil leaves. Let sit for ten minutes before serving with bread. Cut large fruits on a rimmed cutting board to collect their juice and add it back to the dressing. Prepare ingredients with clean utensils and adjust the cut to the size of your harvest. This recipe highlights freshly picked parts: remove any damaged pieces before preparation. If doubling quantities, ensure enough space in the dish for mixing or even cooking. Promptly refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container and consume within two days. For a meal for two people, simply divide all quantities by two.
