Oregon Spring

I grow this one most years as an early bush tomato. The tomatoes are larger than a cherry but not too big that they take a long time to ripen.
Flavour is good.

Oregon Spring


85 days, determinate — The regular leaf plants of 'Oregon Spring' produce large, red, fruits; the first fruits to mature are nearly seedless (parthenocarpic). Another interesting aspect of 'Oregon Spring' is that it sets fruit under the cool spring temperature conditions of the Maritime Northwest. Verticillium wilt race 1 resistant.

Bred by Dr. James R. Baggett of Oregon State University and introduced in 1984. 'Oregon Spring' is a stabilized cross between 'Starshot' and an early maturing, prthenocarpic,Russian variety called 'Severianin'. Each packet contains approximately 20 seeds, and there are about 85 seeds per 0.25 gram.
