Semi-determinate 78 days to harvest from transplant Solanum lycopersicum

HEIRLOOM Distinctly sweet and with an incredible depth often described as ‘smooth smokiness’, Organic Paul Robeson Tomato is named for the pivotal opera singer and civil rights activist. The dark red-bronze skin with green shoulders is unique among tomatoes and indeed these 7 to 12-ounce meaty fruits have a passionate cult following, just like their namesake, which we are proud to be a part of.

Paul Robeson is one of our most popular varieties and we couldn’t be happier that flavor, as well as social justice, are back on the menu! We also love that Paul Robeson is so abundant on modest 4-foot plants, so if you garden in a small space, don’t hold back.

At Fruition, we sow tomatoes in soil blocks indoors 2 months before final frost, early April for us here in Zone 5, germinating them on heat mats with ease. Good light is essential: Younger, less stressed seedlings are healthier and more abundant than older, more stressed seedlings.
