Tomato, Santiam

60 days. Det. Short bushes. Our favorite early tomato variety bred by Oregon State University (OSU). Can set fruit without pollination (parthenocarpic), which means earlier and some seedless fruits. 2-3” globes with good flavor. A little smaller and earlier than Siletz (see below). The second of the three rivers releases of early determinate tomatoes by OSU (with Siletz and Willamette). Bred by Dr. Jim Baggett of OSU and released in1984 along with Oregon Spring. Verticillium and Fusarium wilt resistant.
