Introducing Fire Plum

Discover Fire Plum, the latest creation by the esteemed breeder Fred Hempel before his passing. This variety is a smaller counterpart to the Marzano Fire, encapsulating all its celebrated traits in a more compact form.

Growth Characteristics
Fire Plum is a semi-determinate variety, offering a balance between compact growth and continuous production. It reaches maturity approximately 75 days after transplanting and is best supported with minimal trellising up to 4 feet high.

Fruit Description
The Fire Plum produces elongated, plum-type tomatoes that end in a point, colored in a vibrant red with yellow stripes. Each fruit weighs about 90-113 grams, approximately three-quarters the size and weight of its relative, the Marzano Fire.

Flavor Profile
Like the Marzano Fire, Fire Plum tomatoes are exceptional for roasting, saucing, and drying. Their rich flavor intensifies when cooked, making them perfect for a flavorful sauce or as a standalone snack.

Agricultural Attributes
The Fire Plum variety is vigorous and productive, suitable for trellising. Its sturdy nature and productive capacity make it excellent for canning and sauce-making, with few seeds and thick flesh that cooks down beautifully.

Start growing Fire Plum tomatoes in your garden to experience the legacy of Fred Hempel’s innovative breeding. Perfect for those who value flavor and functionality in their home-grown produce!
