TOMATO ‘Earl of Edgecombe’

Botanical Name: Lycopersicon esculentum

NZ heirloom with a beautiful flavor that is rich, sweet, and tart all at once. The texture is smooth and meaty. The fruit is an orange globe to 75mm, held in clusters of 2 or more. It is resistant to cracking and blossom end rot. Yellow tomatoes can be even better for you than red tomatoes as they contain a more easily assimilated form of lycopene.

Plant Type: Warm season annual, frost tender

Plant Height: 1.5 m; indeterminate type requires staking

Sow When:

  • Temperate: Early spring – inside with extra heat; outside after frost danger has passed, March – October in frost-free areas
  • Subtropical/Tropical: Late April – July

Germination: 7 – 14 days

Depth: 6 mm deep

Position: Full sun

Sow Where: Into seedling pots; liquid feed once germinated

Soil Type: Fertile, well-drained, pH 5.8 – 7

Details: To transplant: remove seed leaves, plant deeper, up to the 1st set of true leaves; this increases rooting & speeds maturity. Keep well-fertilized and evenly watered. Protect fruit from fruit fly with PestGuard Bags.
