Sun-warmed and vividly aromatic, Stupice slicing tomatoes arrive with a bright, classic tomato tang and a juicy, tender bite—firm enough for satisfying slices, yet never tough. The fruits ripen early for a home garden, wearing a smooth, medium-red sheen over a pleasantly balanced sweetness that shines in fresh salads and simple summer platters. Grow Stupice for dependable, early harvests and a steady stream of flavorful slicers all season long.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the most common disease problem for Solanum lycopersicum (Stupice) and how do I treat it?
Stupice commonly suffers from early blight (Alternaria) and leaf spot, which causes brown spots with darker rings on older leaves. Remove and destroy infected leaves as soon as you see spots, keep foliage as dry as possible by watering at the soil line, and spray a labeled fungicide for tomatoes/early blight when symptoms first appear and repeat as directed. Improve airflow by spacing plants and pruning only lower leaves that touch the ground.
How often should I water Stupice tomatoes during their main growing phase?
During active flowering and fruit set, keep soil evenly moist with about 1–2 inches of water per week, adjusting for heat and rainfall. Water deeply 1–2 times per week rather than lightly daily, and aim to avoid letting the soil dry out completely—dry-to-wet cycles increase blossom-end rot and cracking. Use mulch to steady moisture around the root zone while keeping leaves dry.

Sowing Tips

Soil Temperature

Direct sow or transplant when soil at planting depth holds 60°F for reliable germination and early growth.

Expert Note

For Stupice’s early production, start seeds about 7 weeks pre-frost and transplant only when nighttime stays reliably warm and soil is at least 60°F.
