Orange Banana tomatoes are a unique heirloom variety known for their elongated, paste-style fruits and brilliant orange color.

Their rich color and thick, low-acid flesh make them perfect for sauces, soups, salsas, and canning. The vibrant orange hue adds a pop of brightness to any dish and is packed with beta-carotene for added nutrition.

Planting Instructions:
- Seed Starting: Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Plant seeds ¼ inch deep in seed-starting mix and keep soil evenly moist.

- Sunlight: Full sun, 6-8 hours daily.
- Watering: Water consistently at the base of the plant to keep soil moist but not soggy.
- Support: Use stakes, cages, or trellises to support the tall vines and prevent fruit from touching the ground.
- Harvesting: Pick when fruits turn a vibrant orange and feel slightly firm with a soft give.
