Côte de Saint-André is an heirloom tomato from Southern France. When we first grew this tomato, we were impressed with its large, crack-free fruits. Excellent, rich tomato flavor and firm flesh quickly made it a summer favorite for us. Fairly productive for an heirloom tomato variety. Indeterminate vines need trellising.
Our current seed stock was grown by Tom Wahlberg of Decorah, IA. He was one of the former seed house managers of Seed Savers Exchange.

- Growing tips: Start tomato seeds in seedling trays in seed starting soil that has essential nutrients in it 4-6 weeks prior to last frost. Barely cover the seeds with soil and keep the soil moist for quick germination. Make sure to keep the young tomato seedlings under good light to have strong plants with sturdy, healthy stems and leaves. Transplant after last frost in well-drained, fertile soil. Feed with liquid fertilizer once every two weeks. Water tomato plants regularly especially in flower stage. Mulch and always water at plant base to minimize disease. Trellis indeterminate varieties with long vines and prune leaves if the plant canopy becomes too thick for improved air circulation.
