Overview
Oregon Star (OSU T77-15-2) is a large paste tomato released by Oregon State University in 1992. It is parthenocarpic, meaning it can set fruit without pollination, which helps in cool or wet weather. Plants are determinate and bear very solid red fruit around 3 by 5 inches, much bigger and earlier than Roma. It resists verticillium wilt race 1 and ripens in the medium-early to main season. A strong choice for sauce makers in cool-summer regions.
