White Queen Tomato Seeds

White Queen Tomato Seeds – Ivory/Yellow Heirloom Indeterminate Beefsteak Tomato
Solanum lycopersicum
Listing is for 1 packet of 15 seeds

White Queen is an indeterminate heirloom beefsteak tomato dating back to the early 1900s that ripens to a luminous ivory-white with a faint pink blush at the blossom end. These hefty 8–12 oz fruits boast a creamy, low-acid flesh that’s unusually sweet, almost melon-like, yet still rich enough for classic tomato flavor—perfect for stunning caprese salads, gourmet sandwiches, or a fresh tomato-mozzarella platter. Vigorous vines reach 6-8 ft, setting generous clusters all season (about 80 days from transplant). Start indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost, transplant into full-sun, nutrient-rich soil, and provide sturdy support; prune lightly to encourage airflow and maximize production.

TOMATO CHARACTERISTICS
Indeterminate

Color: Ivory cream color that turns more yellow as the fruit ripens

Flavor profile: savory, sweet, and smoky

Average fruit size: beefsteak 8-12oz

Height/Fertilizing: height can vary as it depends on your growing conditions and care. I have a fertilizing regimen which definitely helps achieve this kind of growth but is not necessary. Adding small doses of an organic fertilizer every week has really helped me take my tomato growing to another level. Synthetic fertilizers can burn or damage plants if used too often. Therefore, I recommend organic fertilizers because they wont damage plants when used often. However, do what suits your garden and the products you like to use. 

This is my current fertilizing regimen: I start by fertilizing weekly with 1/8 cup of Espoma Tomato tone sprinkled at the base of each plant. Once the plants start to bloom, I start alternating the weeks. One week with the Espoma Tomato Tone and then the next week with this recipe: mix 1 cup of Azomite dust and 1/4 cup of Fox Farms Tiger Bloom liquid into a 5 gallon bucket of water and pour some at the base of each plant. 

PLANTING
Germination: 7-14 days. To speed up germination I recommend using a heat mat. 

Seed Sowing Depth: 1/8” deep 

Sowing: I highly recommend to start in pots in doors with a heat mat 6-8 weeks before your last frost date. If you gardening in Florida, we kind of have two opportunities to grow tomatoes per year. You can start them in doors around July 1st and transplant into the garden end of September for fall/winter harvest. Or you can start from seed in doors 6-8 weeks from your last frost date for spring harvest. 

Days to maturity: 80 days from transplanting into the garden
