Santa Clara Canner Tomato Seed
Santa Clara Canner Tomato Seed (84 days)
Sustainably Grown/Approx. 25 seeds per pkg.
Indeterminate
Believed to have originated in Italy, it was one the first tomatoes launching the canning industry in California. It was named by F.A. Dixon on behalf of the Canners League of California in 1926. (See the scanned catalog page from Morse's 1930 seed catalog)
High yielding as you would expect from an industry canner tomato. A beefsteak in shape producing fruit from 2"-4" wide and around 13 ounces in weight. The flavor is well balanced and rich. Excellent in saute's or canning. Many folks eat Santa Clara Canner fresh as well, its so darn good.
Santa Clara Canner is famed for making a creamy, intense tomato sauce unlike other canning tomatoes.
California Grown Heirloom Seed
What can you say? This tomato has been selected for performance here in California since 1923. This is a premier canning tomato for Californians. It of course did well in our gardens here, not as heavy in production as Romalina or Opalka. Just remember it is a late producer and plan for canning accordingly.
