Description

Be sure to check out our Tomato Growing Guide for tips & tricks on being successful in growing tomatoes at home.

Tachi Tomato is a hybrid, saladette or Roma-type tomato with excellent disease resistance, including resistance to root knot nematodes. This is a determinate tomato variety that will produce a medium-sized plant. The fruits are dark red with excellent flavor and texture. Tachi Tomato produces extra-large, blocky fruits that are elongated like a traditional Roma tomato. They have an exceptional shelf-life and may be picked at the mature green or vine ripe stage. This hybrid tomato sets fruit well in hot and humid conditions. This is a great variety for making Italian sauces for pizza and pasta. It also is a great variety for making fresh salsa, canning and preserving. Seeds are pelleted for ease of planting into seed trays.

Growing Information

Tomatoes are in the nightshade family along with peppers and eggplant. Plants in the nightshade family are susceptible to blossom end rot, which is a result of a calcium deficiency. To prevent or alleviate this problem, apply pelleted gypsum at the base of the plant at bloom set. Tomatoes do best when transplanted, as the germination time can be longer than most vegetable seed. They grow very well in our heavy-duty seed starting trays. Plants should be started 4-6 weeks before the intended outdoor planting date.

If conditions outside are favorable, transplants may be planted directly from our 162 cell trays. If conditions are still too cold for planting tomatoes, transplants may be "stepped-up" to 4" pots to allow more room to grow. Tomatoes can produce heavy fruits and will require some form of support to keep the plant upright. This ensures that plants and fruits stay off the ground, reducing the possibility of disease and keeping fruits clean.

Wow wow wow!

Well, where to start? I grow my tomatoes in the blistering hot Central Valley of California. As I write this, the outdoor temperature is about 107°. I transplanted all my tomatoes back in early March and through early June it was tomato heaven. Then came July, the scorching heat, and verticillium/fusarium- all heirlooms but my Cherokee Purple and Rutgers petered out.

Except my Hoss hybrids! Hossinator, Sun sugar, Shelby and Tachi. At the time I write this, the Hossinators are sending up new growth to replace their dying branches, the sun sugar is hanging on, the Shelby are done with their production and branches withering but Tachi? I find it mind boggling that the Tachi plants are unaffected. Admittedly, they were the slowest ones to start, and in May, they were the least loaded plants (hats off to you Shelby, Ms. 28+ tomatoes per plant!) and also the ones with the least amount of branching. Back then I was thinking, “hmmm maybe next year we do all Shelby for Roma tomatoes as these are too slow”. That’s not happening any more!!

The Tachi are still not loaded, maybe 5-7 tomatoes on each one, but it’s like these plants do not care about outdoor conditions nor disease? No branches show signs of withering/dying like Hossinator nor Shelby. In fact, it’s still blooming at its (now I know) normal rate, fruits are still setting in this heat and the plants are completely unbothered by the mayhem around them. The tomatoes themselves? Darn good for making sauces, cooking, or fresh eating in salads, salsas, or on top of dishes. Not the best tasting tomato, but when there are only options between bland grocery store tomatoes and no tomatoes, it’s easy to choose.

For me it’s not nor will it be the biggest producer (that goes to Shelby) BUT as far as reliable tomatoes through the worst of late summer in hot areas, this is the winner winner of chicken dinners! I’ll be growing this every year from now on in conjunction with Shelby. Every day when I walk outside and see the destruction of disease and heat, it’s very reassuring to see Tachi just chugging along!!

Mixed Feelings

Tachi is my favorite paste tomato, but I never have good luck with them. I have planted 15+ seeds, and one is doing well, and several others (planted later in your soil I ordered) came up, but are leggy. I even got a heat mat and lights to get them started, but not doing what I want them to do for planting. I do have a few Hossinators to plant out, and the Fried Green ones have a few that are doing okay after I up-planted them.

Quality Tomato Plugs

The Red Snapper, Hossinator, and Shelby plugs I ordered exceeded my expectations. All of the plugs were healthy and in great condition upon arrival. I haven’t planted them yet, but I’m looking forward to a great harvest. Hoss continues to provide top quality products, and this is the reason I continue to support a family owned business versus a big box store.
