Tomato Seeds - Determinate - Oregon Spring Standard
Description
The Oregon Spring Tomato is an early-maturing determinate variety developed specifically for cool, short-season climates. Reaching harvest in just 55–60 days, it produces generous clusters of 4–6 ounce deep red fruits with smooth skins and rich, classic tomato flavor.
Fruits are meaty, low-acid, and nearly seedless, making them perfect for slicing, sandwiches, and sauces. Unlike many early tomatoes, Oregon Spring offers a balanced, full-bodied taste rather than the tartness typical of cold-tolerant varieties. It’s also parthenocarpic, meaning it can set fruit without pollination—an invaluable trait for regions with unpredictable spring weather.
Plants are compact and determinate, growing 2–3 feet tall, requiring little support yet producing abundantly in cool or variable conditions. They thrive in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil, performing exceptionally well in raised beds, containers, or open fields with steady watering.
Bred at Oregon State University by Dr. Jim Baggett, the Oregon Spring Tomato was designed for dependable production where warmth and sunlight are limited. Today, it remains a favorite among northern and mountain gardeners seeking early, flavorful yields without compromising quality.
