Stupice


For as long as I have been growing tomatoes, Stupice has been my go to plant for early producing fruit.  I have no complaints with this variety.  It has a sweet and tangy taste that I enjoy.  Stupice is an indeterminate, potato leaf that will mature within 50- 60 days of transplant.

 It is from Czechoslovakia and is pronounced (stoo-peech-ka).  It is questionable to whom the original hybridizer is.  I have read that M. Sodomka had given Forest Shomer, founder of Abundant Life Seed Foundation some seed in the 1970’s

Stupice is a great variety to choose for an early producer.  It not only produces early, but long into the season as well.  The fruits vary between 2 to 4 oz.  in clusters of three to five.  This year I am actually going to give another early variety to try called Kimberly.  I can’t wait to compare the two.
