What kind of tomato is Caribe?
Caribe is a productive heirloom tomato prized in warm, humid climates for its heat tolerance. It sets flavorful red fruit even when many other varieties struggle in the heat.
When and how do I plant Caribe tomato seeds?
Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost, about 1/4 inch deep in warm mix. Transplant outdoors after frost danger passes and soil has warmed.
How long until Caribe tomatoes are ready to pick?
Caribe typically ripens about 70 to 80 days from transplant. Harvest when the fruit is fully colored and slightly soft to the touch.
Is Caribe a good choice for hot, humid regions?
Yes, it is one of the better tomatoes for southern and tropical gardens because it keeps setting fruit through heat and humidity. Provide full sun and consistent moisture for best results.
How far apart should Caribe plants be spaced?
Space plants 24 to 36 inches apart in full sun with good airflow. Staking or caging keeps the fruit off the ground and reduces disease.
How many seeds come in a packet and are they heirloom?
Each packet holds about 65 heirloom, non-GMO seeds. Kept cool and dry, they stay viable for several growing seasons.
Does Caribe handle heat well?
Yes. It is known for setting fruit reliably in warm and humid 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.
