Determinate. From Territorial Seed: “This beautiful tomato hails from the Umpqua River Valley in southern Oregon. One of the most versatile open-pollinated, determinate varieties we have run across in a long time. The fire-engine red fruit can grow upwards of two pounds each, are very thick and meaty, and can be enjoyed much like eating an apple, without juice running all over the chin. Its girth and thickness make meaty-thick slices for sandwiches, as it can span from crust to crust. Even night-before-made sandwiches will not be soggy by lunchtime. You can even enjoy it with salt, just as you would your watermelon. Umpqua Beauty’s dense flesh also makes it one of the best paste and sauce tomatoes you can grow. This dependable crop is a truly great choice for all-around use. If you ever find yourself only able to grow one tomato variety, you should definitely consider growing Umpqua Beauty.” 80-85 days.
