Number of seeds

Developed through Oregon's cool-climate breeding programs, the Oregon Spring tomato was designed to provide consistent harvests even when spring is late and summers remain mild. In a garden that works in harmony with the seasons, it becomes a valuable ally: a standard-type tomato, meaty and bountiful, that ripens early and gives the gardener an early sign of success.

In the garden, its compact and determined growth habit makes it a reliable plant for productive spaces: well-organized flowerbeds, small vegetable gardens, or community gardens. Its red, round to slightly flattened fruits stand out clearly against the green foliage, offering a reassuring presence throughout the summer. Adapted to regions with short summers, it naturally finds its place in a respectful cultivation approach, where one observes, understands, and then gently intervenes to support the plant rather than forcing it.

  • Growing climate: Warm season (suitable for cool climates and summers)
  • Sowing difficulty level: Easy
  • Care required: Regular
  • Growth: Early summer growth

Annotation: Variety selected to set and ripen its fruits well in cooler conditions than the average tomato.

Oregon Spring tomatoes, of medium size and standard shape, are versatile in the kitchen. They are well suited as table tomatoes, sliced ​​in sandwiches, burgers or salads, but are also suitable for cooking in quick sauces, light coulis or stews.

Their relatively meaty flesh makes them ideal for roasting in the oven or grilling. For preservation, they can be made into sauces for freezing, canned (using tried and tested safe canning methods), or even made into a coulis for winter.
