Tomato German Johnson Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perSolanum lycopersicum
German Johnson is a classic heirloom beefsteak tomato producing large, smooth-skinned fruits that ripen to a beautiful pink-red. The substantial tomatoes have thick, meaty flesh, relatively few seeds and a very mild, sweet flavour with low acidity.
Particularly good as a slicing tomato, German Johnson is excellent in sandwiches, burgers and salads, while its fleshy texture and low seed content also make it useful for preserving. The vigorous plants offer reasonable disease resistance and are known for dependable production.
An old American heirloom associated particularly with North Carolina and the southern Appalachian region, German Johnson is also recognised as one of the parent varieties used in the development of the famous Mortgage Lifter tomato.
Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram. Approximately 40 seeds per packet.
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: February–August
Subtropics: August–April
Mild climates: August–December
Cold climates: September–December, after frost risk has passed
Planting / Sowing
Sow approximately 5 mm deep into seed-raising mix or directly where conditions are warm. In cooler climates, seed can be started indoors approximately five weeks before transplanting after the last frost. Best soil temperature for germination is approximately 16–35°C.
Space plants approximately 40–60 cm apart with 60–150 cm between rows. Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil and provide sturdy staking or trellising for the climbing vines and large fruit. Water at soil level where possible and avoid waterlogged conditions.
Maturity: approximately 80 days.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
