Plants are heavy bearing, producing generous crops without the extensive vine growth of indeterminate tomatoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped in Florida, USA, Walter was bred for warm growing regions and became an important commercial variety in the latter half of the twentieth century. It was selected for reliable production and resistance to several common tomato diseases, including Fusarium wilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts compact determinate habit makes Walter useful for smaller gardens and growers wanting a concentrated harvest. Plants require little training, although light support can be helpful when the bushes are carrying a particularly heavy crop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram.

Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Plants are short and compact and generally require little training, although light staking or caging can help support a heavy 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 and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Packet","offer_id":46375841169626,"sku":"prefix_681c1f71d10222.11506999","price":3.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2g","offer_id":46375841202394,"sku":"prefix_681c1f71d10270.24138892","price":6.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5g","offer_id":46375841235162,"sku":"prefix_681c1f71d102a0.89710220","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/4866\/8890\/files\/download_d1aabae5-57b3-4d1f-a970-c033551f31b3.jpg?v=1754017190","url":"https:\/\/www.edenseeds.com.au\/products\/tomato-walter-631","provider":"Eden Seeds ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
