The Jersey Devil heirloom paste tomato was developed and named by the Tomato Seed Co of Metuchen, New Jersey, and is an ancestor to the Jersey Giant tomato. Shaped like a chili pepper, it is a large, solid, and firm, purplish-red tomato. The Jersey Devil tomato is a prolific producer that is meaty and has few seeds, making it ideal for canning, salsas, and sauces.
It is early maturing and can grow over six feet tall which will require some staking.
Interplant with basil, marigolds, calendula, onions, garlic, chives, thyme, rosemary, and oregano to improve flavor, increase harvest, repel harmful pests, and attract beneficial insects like bees and ladybugs.
Starter will be in a 4" reusable nursery pot.
