Siletz Tomato

Solanum lycopersicum

Price: $2.95

SKU: 3401921

70 days, determinate - The regular leaf plants of 'Siletz' are early maturing and produce red fruit that are large (up to a pound), with the first to mature being nearly seedless (parthenocarpic). They have a good, mild, slightly tart flavor and are a good early slicing tomato. 'Siletz' was bred by Dr. James Baggett of Oregon State University and released in 1994.
Fruit Color: Red
Harvest Timing: Early/Short Season
Growth Habit: Determinate
Sow seeds indoors (do not direct sow into the garden), using sterile seed starting mix, 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Plant 1/4" deep, water lightly but keep moist until emergence.

Full light and cooler temps (60ยฐ to 70ยฐ) 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.

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… Stand-out, excellent all around tomato!
By Ellen (Central Ohio, zone 6a) on November 21, 2023

First year growing Siletz in our container garden zone 6a central Ohio and it was a stand-out! Deliciously balanced full tomato flavor, excellent texture, healthy plant. Siletz is cold-tolerant so it produced early in the season and late into the season with a good yield of 11.5 lbs. from one plant. First harvest on 7/20, 66 days after transplant, and the last harvest on 10/7. One Siletz plant gave us 41 tomatoes! Fruits are fairly consistent in size and shape, red round, avg 4.5 oz. Two tomatoes had cracks after a rain, but the rest were virtually blemish free. We ate Siletz mostly fresh and also added to sauces. Siletz was my son's favorite this year, he gave it a 10/10. Siletz will be in our garden every year!

By AN (New York) on August 28, 2023

Tastes good, although not even close to Cherokee Purple. Just a good solid tomato. Produced lots and lots of smaller size tomatoes for me. Unfortunately, I see conflicting info online whether this is heirloom or a hybrid. Some websites say its F1, others say it is heirloom.

Hearty and flavorful, but only average sized. Very nice. Will grow these again next year.
