Overview
Heinz 1439 is an open-pollinated, determinate plum tomato from H.J. Heinz Co. (Heinz 1350 x Campbell 135), bred for the processing field and still handy in the garden. Plants yield heavily with bright red, firm, crack-resistant fruit around 6 oz and 2 to 3 inches, and the set is concentrated so most of the crop can be picked in one go, which is exactly what you want for canning. Resistance covers Verticillium wilt, Fusarium wilt, and Alternaria stem canker. Maturity runs 70 to 80 days. Adapted to the Midwest and southern Canada. A workhorse for sauce and canning days.
