Overview
Valencia is an open-pollinated orange heirloom, one of the most widely grown of its color. Indeterminate vines set smooth, round to slightly flattened fruit of about 8 to 10 ounces with dense, meaty orange-gold flesh and few seeds. The skin is a clean bright orange without reddish tones, and the flavor is low in acid, fruity and mild, which appeals to people who find red tomatoes sharp. It matures in the main season; stake it and save seed from the best fruit, since it comes true.
