Overview
Stupice is a Czech heirloom prized for earliness and cold tolerance, an open-pollinated variety that sets fruit when nights are still too cool for most tomatoes. The plant is indeterminate with potato-leaf foliage and bears clusters of small round red fruit, two to three inches and about a quarter pound. Ripe fruit can come around 55 days from transplant, weeks ahead of main-season types, and the flavor is a genuine sweet-tart tomato taste rather than the flat taste of many early varieties. Start indoors, plant out a little earlier than usual, and give it a stake. A first choice for short-season, coastal, or high-altitude gardens.
