Description
(Semi-Determinate/68 Days)
Peron aka Peron Sprayless is a 1950’s heirloom tomato that was developed in Argentina by Prof. Abelardo Piovano. It was called Peron Sprayless because of its fantastic ability to produce heavy yields of fruit without disease or pesticide sprays; its disease resistance is phenomenal. The plants are compact and produce large, deep-red, mostly blemish-free fruit that are delicious. This is a great variety for canning, slicing, markets, and for patio growers with limited space. The fruit keep very well after being harvested.

Planting Instructions – Start tomato seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost date. Do not plant out until 2 weeks after last frost. Tomato seeds require high soil temperatures for good germination rates. We highly recommend heat mats to ensure and speed up germination. Pot up to 3–4 inch pots when first true leaves develop (not cotyledon leaves). Harden off plants for 1-2 weeks in full sun before transplanting them outside (after last frost). Make sure to give tomato plants a lot of space for vigorous root and foliage growth.
