Bloody Butcher tomatoes are an early-maturing heirloom variety known for their rich, deep red color and exceptional flavor. These small to medium-sized fruits, around 2-3 ounces each, have a bold, tangy taste with just the right balance of sweetness, making them perfect for fresh eating, slicing, and salads.
Growth Type: Indeterminate (vine variety)
As an indeterminate variety, Bloody Butcher tomato plants produce fruit steadily throughout the growing season, making them an excellent choice for gardeners who want an ongoing harvest.
Key Features:
- Heirloom Variety: Non-GMO and open-pollinated for seed saving.
- Early Producer: Produces ripe fruit in as little as 55 days after transplanting.
- Rich Flavor: Bold, tangy, and slightly sweet with a robust, classic tomato taste.
- Versatile Use: Great for fresh snacking, sandwiches, and salads.
Growing Instructions:
- Seed Starting: Begin indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and water from the bottom 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 not waterlogged. Water at the base to avoid wetting the foliage.
- Support: Use stakes, cages, or trellises to support the tall vines and keep fruit off the ground.
- Harvesting: Pick when tomatoes are fully red and slightly soft to the touch.
