Originating in the former Czechoslovakia, the Stupice tomato was bred to produce flavorful fruit in cool conditions and short growing seasons. In a Nordic vegetable garden or a country garden, it naturally finds its place in a productive space where spring is late and every week gained in the season counts.

Its compact, determinate plants become covered in a profusion of small, round, bright red tomatoes that ripen long before many other standard varieties. This remarkable consistency makes it a reliable plant for gardeners seeking a garden in harmony with the local climate, without heating or artificial methods. In welcoming, well-drained soil, Stupice quietly follows the cycle of the seasons, offering a generous and regular harvest, prized for everyday meals as well as the first summer salads.

  • Growing climate: Warm season
  • Sowing difficulty level: Easy
  • Care required: Regular
  • Growth: Summer growth

Annotation: Variety recognized for its great earliness and good suitability to cool climates, useful for regions with a short growing season.

Stupice is a small, standard-sized tomato, versatile in the kitchen. Its size and early maturity make it an excellent early-season tomato for simple salads, sandwiches, and crudités. It holds its shape well when quartered or sliced ​​and offers a pleasant flavor for an early variety.

It's also suitable for light cooking: quick sauces, compotes, pizza toppings, and summer stews. Abundant harvests allow for making jars of coulis or sauce, although its small size requires a little more preparation than larger sauce tomatoes. Whole fruits will keep for a few days in the refrigerator, and any surplus can be used to make sauces or frozen after simple cooking.
