An heirloom variety, originally of German origin. These handsome apple-shaped 4-6 ounce fruit are packed with a balance of sweet and slightly tart flavor. Great fresh, canned, or stewed. This variety stands up well to cooler conditions and still produces abundantly and early. Plants grow to 5-6 feet tall. 65 days to mature.
Plant in full sun in soil that has been amended with compost and a good organic fertilizer that is not too high in nitrogen. Support these heavily bearing plants with a sturdy tomato cage.

Harvest when fruit are bright red and slightly soft to the touch. It is excellent eaten fresh in salads and can also be use to make a great pasta sauce. Matina tomato may also be canned to preserve for later use.
