Large Tomato - Thorburn's Terracotta
3.25" Plant
SEMI-DETERMINATE
Farmer Tracey's favourite large tomato! Incredible flavor, color and history. Introduced in 1893 by James Thorburn of New York, this is one of the most sensational tomatoes. With honey-brown skin, orange-pink flesh, and green seed mass, this is an eye-catching slicer with an out-of-this-world flavor.
The tomato produces heavily during mid-season and then drops off quickly once cool weather sets in. As a cooker it will yield a pumpkin-orange sauce with a floral aroma. We are excited to have this tomato that was painted in color in Thorburn’s 1893 catalog!
Fruits are medium-sized, typically weighing between 3 to 8 ounces.
With adequate support and a large enough container (at least 5 gallons), they can grow in containers. Ensure the container has good drainage and provide a stake or cage for support.
