White Icicle Paste-Type Tomato

White Icicle, 'Sosulka Belaya', produces oval-elongated paste-type tomatoes, around 80 grams each. Ivory-white fruits with a sweet tomato flavor. Firm, meaty fruits with few seeds. Crack-resistant and keeps well after picking. This is described as an indeterminate, vining variety of tomato. Although all my plants grew to about 150cm and gave heavy yields all ripened during the same 10-day period. Perfect if you want to harvest all simultaneously for sauces or cooking. I did not prune at all, but staking or support is needed. 75-80D. 10seeds/pack

Paste-type tomatoes contain less water than "normal" tomatoes and are perfect for tomato sauce, puree, cooking, etc. The fruits are very firm and meaty and not so watery if cooked. Indeterminate tomato varieties will keep on growing the whole summer until the autumn frost. They will keep flowering and setting fruit. The sucker doesn't have to be pruned, but if not the plant will grow extremely large. 1-3 suckers could be spared along the main stem and the rest could be pruned. If not pruned at all the plant might tend to put energy into growing large instead of producing tomatoes on the main stem and the selected suckers. All indeterminate varieties could be staked or supported to avoid fruits laying on the ground.
