What makes Amana Orange tomatoes special?
Amana Orange is a large heirloom beefsteak with bright orange, meaty flesh and a rich, sweet, low-acid flavor. Fruit often reaches one to two pounds, making it a showstopper on the table.
When should I start Amana Orange tomato seeds?
Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last spring frost, sowing about 1/4 inch deep. Transplant seedlings outside once frost danger has passed and nights stay above 50°F.
How long does Amana Orange take to mature?
This is a late-season variety that ripens about 80 to 90 days from transplant. The large fruit needs warm, steady weather to size up and reach full flavor.
How much space and support do Amana Orange plants need?
Space these indeterminate vines 24 to 36 inches apart in full sun. Because the fruit is so heavy, use a strong stake or cage to keep branches from breaking.
What is Amana Orange best used for in the kitchen?
Its mild, sweet flavor and thick flesh make it excellent for fresh slicing, colorful salads, and sandwiches. The low acidity is also pleasant for those who find red tomatoes too tart.
How many seeds are in a packet and are they non-GMO?
Each packet contains about 60 heirloom, non-GMO seeds. Store extras in a cool, dry place to keep them viable for several years.
How big do the tomatoes get?
Fruits commonly reach 1 to 2 pounds each, with some even larger under good growing conditions.
How long do the seeds last?
Stored cool, dry, and sealed in the original packet, the seeds stay viable for a couple of years or more, with the best germination in the first year or two.
