10 Orange Currant Tomato Seeds, Organic, Open-Pollinated, Non-GMO, Genuine USA

Description: Test Orange Currant Tomato (Solanum pimpinellifolium) Check out our other listings! Orange Currant is an open-pollinated, wild tomato cultivar native to South America and first introduced to U.S. gardeners by the Seed Ambassador Project, who were given this variety by German seed collector Gerhard Bohl. Indeterminate vines produce immense quantities of orange, currant-sized fruits that grow to around 1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter. Fruits are thick skinned and resistant to cracking. Flavor is sweet and fruity. Germination time for wild tomatoes is slightly longer than modern cultivars. Be patient and allow up to two weeks for the sprouts to emerge! 70 days to maturity. Tomato Germination Guide Select the soil and container in which to start your seeds. For soil, use a seed starting mix for the best results. You may also use a soil-less potting mix, which is cheaper and widely available at most garden centers. For the container, use cell packs or a small pot three to four inches tall to start your tomato seeds. Fill your container with potting mix to within ½ inch of the top. Place two seeds on top of the soil near the center of the pot. Planting two seeds is recommended in case one doesn't sprout. If both seeds sprout, you can pinch off the smaller, weaker plant. Cover the seeds with about ¼ inch layer of potting mix. Gently press the soil down with your fingers to ensure good contact between the seed and soil. Sprinkle or mist water on the seeds whenever the top of layer of soil appears dry. Be careful not to overwater! Soggy soil may cause the seed to rot. Keep your potted seeds in a warm location. The warmer the location is, the quicker the seeds will germinate. If you're starting your seeds indoors, maintain a room temperature above sixty degrees Fahrenheit. Or, better yet, use a heat mat to provide the seeds warmth and speed up the germination process. You may also cover you pots with plastic and utilize the greenhouse effect to warm up the soil and maintain heat through the night. Be sure to remove the plastic once the seeds have sprouted to avoid disease and fungal infection! Transplant your tomato seedling to a new, bigger pot when it is at least 3 inches in height.
