Ace 55 tomatoes are a classic, reliable variety known for their large, firm fruits and low acidity, making them perfect for those who prefer a milder flavor. This heirloom variety produces vibrant red, round tomatoes that average 7-12 ounces, ideal for slicing, sandwiches, and fresh eating.
Growth Type: Determinate (bush variety)
Ace 55 is a determinate tomato plant, meaning it grows to a manageable height and produces its harvest all at once, making it great for gardeners who want a consistent and abundant crop for canning and preserving.
Key Features:
- Heirloom Quality: Non-GMO and open-pollinated for saving seeds.
- Large, Juicy Fruits: Mild flavor with low acidity.
- Versatile Uses: Perfect for salads, sauces, and slicing.
- Disease Resistant: Resistant to cracking and verticillium wilt.
Growing Instructions:
- Seed Starting: Begin indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix and bottom-water when possible.
- Transplanting: Move seedlings outdoors after the last frost, spacing plants 24+ inches apart.
- Sunlight: Requires full sun (6-8 hours daily).
- Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. Always water at the base of the plant to keep foliage dry.
- Support: Use stakes or cages to support the plants as they grow.
- Harvesting: Pick tomatoes when they are firm but slightly soft to the touch and fully red.
