Stupice Tomato

I live in the Pacific Northwest, and it has been a very cold summer so far with a few searing hot days. It has gotten as low as 40 at night some nights. I started my tomato seeds indoors in early February and didn't put my plants out until mid-May. I almost didn't put my stupice starts out as they were TINY compared to my others. Boy am I glad I planted them anyway. They were my first plants to set fruit and the first to ripen. As I type, I have two handfuls of fruit on my counter from one plant. The fruit size varies greatly--some bigger, some cherry-sized--but these things are prolific. The plants have handled the crazy weather without any pampering, and they are the only plants I haven't pruned heavily to encourage more fruit development. I will definitely be planting these again. If they produce this well in such an off/cold year, I can't wait to see what they do in a warmer summer!

I have been growing Stupice for decades in the Pacific NW. They are very early but keep producing until September. Tastes is very good--not Brandywine good but better than most. I grew them just to try out one year and have been growing ever since. One of the two tomato varieties that I ALWAYS grow.

I have grown these tomatoes for three years in a row now here in the PNW. I needed a tomato that can tolerate cooler temperatures. This tomato is hardy, dependable and prolific.

I grow Stupice every year. Tastes great, prolific, and can handle our hot and dry climate (Denver.) It can do well in pots.

I've been growing Stupice tomatoes for years. They're perfect for my unpredictable Western Washington climate, where summer starts very late and sometimes ends early. They'e very early, prolific, and taste great. They put Early Girl, the most frequently grown early tomato in my area, to shame!

I have been growing Stupice for several years and have enjoyed how prolific the plants are in producing fruit that is almost perfectly round, small enough to be versatile for cutting into salads, make things like salsa, and for cooking into sauces and soups. I used just these tomatoes to make a soup to can this year and what blew me away was how SWEET the soup was with no added sweetener! I am sold on growing those if for nothing else, but to make soup from them!

This is a beautiful tomato with a lovely texture, little pulp, and excellent flavor. It's almost a shame to put it in sauces, but it certainly improves the sauce. I found it a little fussy to start, but it caught up well and produces well. Will grow again.
