Soldacki Tomato, Heirloom Seeds

Soldacki Tomato, Heirloom Seeds — The 1900 Polish Heirloom Beefsteak Brought to Cleveland by Immigrant Hands

Soldacki (Lycopersicon lycopersicum) is an heirloom variety brought to Cleveland, Ohio by a Polish family in 1900 — a large, ribbed beefsteak tomato with juicy, meaty flesh and a well-balanced flavor that is perfect for sandwiches, sauces, salsas, and fresh eating. Robust, productive indeterminate plants yield 1–1.5 lb fruits measuring 3–3.5 inches in diameter. Stake the plants — the weight of the fruit demands it. Produces until frost. 90 days.

Growing Notes
