Sarnowski Polish Plum Tomato
Price: $3.45
SKU: 3402451We received our original seed from Dr. Carolyn Male (NY MA C) who received the variety from Mike Sarnowski of Schenectady, New York whose ancestors brought it to the United States from Poland in the 1890s.
Fruit Color: Red
Harvest Timing: Main Crop / Mid-Season
Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.
Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.

These tomatoes are only 25 days old! They germinated very well, every single seed germinated, and they sprouted 2-3 days sooner on average compared to other brands I purchased seeds from. Very fast growing and resilient. Would recommend, hoping to update this review once the plants are producing

These tomatoes are one of my favorites! You’ll get multiple shapes and sizes on the same vine similar to other heirlooms, larger than most Italian plums like San Mariano or Roma. Not an early variety, I would guess 75 days maybe but worth it for the flavor and shelf life too. The Sarnowski’s Van Curler Greenhouses in Glenville NY is sorely missed by our community since it closed in 2007. I think it started in 1929.

These tomatoes are easy to grow and absolutely delicious! I started them inside in March, had 100% germination and no problem transplanting them into my greenhouse in the spring. Sarnowski Plums are excellent raw, sliced on a pizza, or cooked down as a sauce. We will definitely be growing these again and again.
