Tomato 'Wapsipinicon Peach' (Organic)
A true conversation starter in the garden, Tomato ‘Wapsipinicon Peach’ is a rare American heirloom from Iowa, producing small to medium creamy-yellow fruit with a distinctive soft, downy skin—just like a peach. This fine fuzz is more than a novelty, often noted for helping deter fruit fly, making it as practical as it is beautiful.
The flavour is where this variety truly shines. Expect a complex balance of sweet, fruity richness with a subtle spicy edge, delivering a refreshing, almost tropical note that sets it apart from traditional tomatoes.
An indeterminate grower, it produces generously over a long season, yielding clusters of pale yellow, almost glowing fruit around 4–5cm in size—perfect for fresh eating straight from the vine, salads, or adding a unique touch to summer dishes.
Sow seed 6-8 weeks before you want to plant out your tomatoes. Never plant tomatoes in the same bed two years running as you risk infection from a build up of pests and diseases. Tomatoes need an open, sunny position, with plenty of air circulation to thrive. Tomatoes are best in a bed which has been heavily manured for a previous crop such as broccoli. A soil that is too rich in nutrients will produce prolific, but soft, sappy growth which is prone to disease. Long, leggy toato seedlings can be planted very deeply or even on their sides, as the stem is able to grow roots when covered with soil, and a large, healthy root system will develop.
