The firm, fleshy tomatoes are a versatile size for slicing, sandwiches and salads as well as sauces, cooking and preserving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBred in Queensland for resistance to Fusarium wilt, Tristar was developed with warm Australian growing conditions in mind. Its disease resistance is particularly valuable in areas where soil-borne Fusarium can make tomato production difficult.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants have a determinate bush habit, producing good-sized fruit on relatively compact plants. They require less training than climbing tomatoes, although staking or caging is worthwhile to support the weight of the larger fruits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpace plants approximately 40–60 cm apart with 60–150 cm between rows. Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Plants are compact and generally require less training than climbing varieties, although staking or caging can help support the weight of the crop. Water at soil level where possible and avoid waterlogged conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDue to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot available for WA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Packet","offer_id":46375917453530,"sku":"prefix_681c1f73aac524.88723835","price":3.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2g","offer_id":46375917486298,"sku":"prefix_681c1f73aac594.31794977","price":9.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/4866\/8890\/files\/download_3d9b43f8-8302-44e9-b25e-9b2cd4e7d2ae.jpg?v=1754016873","url":"https:\/\/www.edenseeds.com.au\/products\/tomato-tristar-2076","provider":"Eden Seeds ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
