Orange Caprese

Orange Caprese is a standout variety from Artisan Seeds, meticulously developed by our master breeder, Fred Hempel. This orange plum tomato is renowned for its sweet, rich flavor, making it an exceptional choice for use in caprese salads.

Growth Characteristics Orange Caprese is characterized by its vining, indeterminate growth habit with wispy leaves. The plants are vigorous and produce heavily, typically maturing about 75 days after transplant. For optimal growth and fruit production, trellising is recommended due to the plant's extensive vine formation.

Fruit Description The fruits of Orange Caprese are notable for their attractive orange color with green shoulders that fade as the tomatoes ripen. This color transformation adds to the visual appeal of the fruits, making them as striking as they are flavorful.

Flavor Profile Known for its sweet and rich flavor, Orange Caprese is ideal for enhancing the taste of fresh dishes like caprese salads, where its vibrant flavor and color can shine.

Culinary Uses Perfectly suited for slicing, Orange Caprese tomatoes add both flavor and color to dishes, particularly salads where their unique characteristics are highlighted.

Agricultural Attributes While the Orange Caprese variety is robust and productive, it is susceptible to Early Blight and Septoria Leafspot. Effective management practices such as using drip irrigation, planting later in the season, and aggressively pruning affected leaves are essential to mitigate these issues and achieve heavy harvests.
