Description

High‑quality Creole tomato seeds are manually screened to pick out shrivelled, broken and non‑viable grains. Developed by Louisiana State University, Creole is the famous southern‑US open‑pollinated heirloom slicing‑type tomato, well‑known for exceptional adaptability under high‑temperature, muggy summer weather where ordinary tomatoes easily drop blossoms.

This indeterminate vigorous vine bears smooth round medium‑sized bright‑red fruits with thick, meaty, juicy pulp and classic well‑balanced sweet‑tangy tomato flavour. It carries strong resistance against fusarium wilt, early blight and fruit cracking, suitable for large‑capacity balcony containers, backyard vegetable beds, greenhouse and commercial field‑scale cultivationLSU AgCent....

Full Product Description

Creole tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) was officially‑bred in 1956 by Louisiana State University, specially cultivated for America’s hot‑and‑humid southern growing zones. The vigorous sprawling vine requires trellis or tomato‑cage support to keep fruits clean off damp soil.

Ripe round red tomatoes own thick meaty flesh and abundant juice, suited for fresh‑eating, cooking gumbo, paste and home canning. Each batch of seeds goes through strict screening to discard mouldy, damaged and under‑developed grains. Full‑day sunshine boosts fruit sweetness, and loose slightly‑acidic well‑drained loamy soil optimizes crop output.

Packaging & Storage Notice

Tiny tomato seeds are sealed inside thick moisture‑proof bags. Outer carton packaging stops tiny‑sized seeds from loss and breakage during transit.

Keep seed packets away from high‑temperature surroundings, humid air and harsh direct sunlight. Reseal leftover seeds tightly and store within cool, dry, well‑ventilated indoor spaces.

Planting Guide

Best Sowing Season

Sow seeds indoors 6‑8 weeks before the last spring frost date; transplant seedlings outdoors once overnight temperature steadily stays over 12℃. Optimal germination temperature: 21℃‑27℃.

Seed Pre‑Treatment

Soak seeds in room‑temperature clean water for 6‑8 hours
Discard floating inactive seeds
Lay soaked seeds on damp cloth for warm‑environment accelerating sprouting

Soil Requirement

Pick fertile loose well‑drained garden loam mixed with organic compost, suitable soil pH 6.0‑6.8. Add calcium‑rich fertilizer during blooming phase to avoid blossom‑end rot; cut excessive nitrogen fertilizer which triggers redundant leaf growth.

Sowing Operation

Bury seeds 0.6‑1 cm deep inside seed‑starting trays. Space mature plants 60‑90 cm apart. Set up stakes or climbing cages to sustain heavy fruit‑laden branches. For container planting, choose pots over 10 gallons in capacity.

Germination & Seedling Care

Keep seed‑raising soil evenly moist. Creole tomato seeds germinate within 5‑10 days under warm surroundings. Provide strong full‑sun illumination to prevent spindly thin seedlings.

Daily‑care for Mature Plants

Offer 6‑8 hours of direct sunlight every day. Water deeply and evenly, maintain steady soil moisture to stop fruit cracking. Trim over‑dense bottom foliage for better air circulation. Harvest ripe glossy‑red vine‑ripened tomatoes for the best original flavour.

Seed Storage & Package

Airtight moisture‑proof packaging protects premium seeds from dampness, mould and shipping‑caused damage.

Store spare seeds inside cool, dry, shaded and ventilated locations. Refrigerated storage retains seed vitality. Finish sowing within three‑month storage for optimal germination‑rate results.
