Tomato Federle Seeds (Solanum lycopersicum)
General Overview
Tomato Federle, scientifically classified as Solanum lycopersicum, is a prized heirloom variety originating from West Virginia, USA. Its unique, elongated fruits and outstanding culinary qualities have made it a favorite among gardeners and chefs. Known for its consistent productivity and distinctive shape, Federle tomatoes are especially valued for their suitability in creating rich, flavorful tomato-based dishes.
Plant Characteristics
Federle is an indeterminate tomato variety, meaning it continues to grow and produce fruit throughout the season. The plants are vigorous, reaching heights of 1.5–2 meters, and require sturdy support. The fruits are bright red, slender, and elongated, often measuring up to 15 cm in length and weighing between 150–230 grams. Their thick, meaty flesh with minimal seeds makes them ideal for processing and preserving. This variety is known for its low moisture content, enhancing its utility in making pastes and sauces.
Flavor and Benefits
Federle tomatoes are celebrated for their rich, sweet, and slightly tangy flavor, perfect for sauces, soups, and drying. Their dense flesh and high nutrient content make them an excellent source of lycopene, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants. These qualities make Federle not only delicious but also a healthy addition to any diet.
Cultivation Recommendations
To cultivate Federle tomatoes successfully, sow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost date. Transplant seedlings to a sunny location in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil with a pH of 6.0–6.8 after the danger of frost has passed. Ensure regular watering and provide strong stakes or cages for support. The plants mature in approximately 85–90 days from transplanting, rewarding growers with a plentiful harvest of high-quality tomatoes.
Uses and Applications
Federle tomatoes are ideal for cooking, particularly for making thick tomato sauces, ketchup, and purees.
