Tomato Seeds - Indeterminate - Stupice Slicing
Description
The Stupice Tomato is a compact, indeterminate heirloom variety originating from the former Czechoslovakia, prized for its earliness, flavor, and cold tolerance. Maturing in just 55–65 days, it produces clusters of 2–3 inch round fruits with smooth red skin and a rich, balanced taste that rivals much larger tomatoes.
Fruits are sweet yet tangy, with a dense, juicy flesh ideal for slicing, sandwiches, or fresh snacking. Stupice excels in cooler or shorter growing seasons where many tomatoes struggle, continuing to set fruit even during temperature dips. Despite its early maturity, it maintains impressive flavor depth throughout the summer.
Plants are vigorous but manageable, typically reaching 4–5 feet in height, making them perfect for smaller gardens or containers with sturdy support. They thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, and benefit from consistent moisture and mulch to maintain steady growth.
A proven heirloom favorite among northern growers, Stupice combines earliness, hardiness, and genuine tomato sweetness—delivering flavorful, reliable harvests long before most other slicers begin to ripen.
