Description
Trophy Tomato is a classic heirloom introduced in the 1870s. It grows on indeterminate vines and produces medium-to-large, round-to-slightly-oblate fruits, typically weighing 140–340 g (5–12 oz). The fruit offers a firm, juicy texture with a mild, sweet flavor—ideal for slicing, salads, sandwiches, and canning. This variety remains popular for its reliability and rich taste.
When to Plant in the UAE
-
Start Indoors: Sow seeds early to mid-August, keeping soil at or above 24 °C for optimal germination.
-
Transplant Outdoors: Move seedlings outdoors in early October, when nighttime temperatures consistently stay above 15 °C.
-
Direct Sowing (Optional): You may also direct-sow seeds outdoors in early October, provided the soil is warm and frost risk is absent.
This schedule aligns perfectly with the UAE’s cooler season, giving your plants ample time for root development and extended fruiting.
Growing Timeline & Harvest
-
Days to Harvest: Typically 80 days from transplanting, though some sources cite up to 95 days, depending on conditions.
Planting & Care Tips
| Task | Recommendations |
|---|---|
| Sun & Soil | Select full sun (6–8 hrs/day), nutrient-rich, well-draining soil enhanced with compost. |
| Planting Depth & Support | Plant seedlings deep—up to the first set of leaves—to encourage strong roots. Provide sturdy cages or stakes for support, especially vital for heavy indeterminate vines. |
| Spacing | Allow 45–60 cm between plants and 90 cm between rows for proper airflow. |
| Watering | Maintain consistent moisture—not waterlogged—to prevent fruit cracking. Mulch helps retain water and suppress weeds. |
| Fertilizing | Begin with a balanced fertilizer at planting. As flowering begins, shift toward phosphorus and potassium-rich feeds, reducing nitrogen to focus energy on fruits. |
| Harvesting | Harvest when fruits are fully red, firm yet slightly yielding—typically around 80 days after transplanting. Regular picking keeps the plant producing vigorously. |
