Territorial Seed Company Umpqua Beauty Tomato

Determinate tomatoes grow to a fixed size and ripen their entire crop over a relatively short period, usually a few weeks. This makes them an excellent choice if you want to harvest a large amount of fruit at once for canning or sauce-making.

Umpqua Beauty is known for its impressive size, with individual fruits capable of reaching up to two pounds. Because they are so heavy, you may want to ensure your plants are well-staked to support the weight of the fruit.

While their dense, meaty flesh makes them exceptional for sauces and pastes, they are also delicious eaten fresh. Their thick texture holds up well on sandwiches without making the bread soggy.

Because this is a determinate variety, you should space your plants 18 to 24 inches apart. If you are planting multiple rows, aim for 3 to 4 feet of space between each row to ensure proper airflow.

These seeds have a life of approximately three years when stored properly. Keep them in a cool, dry, and dark place to maintain the best germination rates.

Umpqua Beauty tomatoes thrive in soil with a pH between 5.5 and 7.0. It is a good idea to test your soil before planting to ensure it falls within this range for the best results.
