\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Missouri is a mid-late season determinate<\/strong> paste tomato highly praised for its firm, thick-walled fruits that don’t get rubbery or “rock-hard” like some commercial canning types. The bushes grow up to 3-4 ft (1-1.2 m) tall and produce heavy yields of mildly sweet, low-acid red tomatoes perfect for processing, juicing, or eating fresh. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

I’ve had the seeds for this variety for a long time. Read some pretty decent reviews about it on the Ukrainian forums, and this year I finally gave it a try. Zero regrets.<\/p>\n

Germination was good (I accidentally knocked over my first tray, so I soaked a second batch on March 25). Planted 6 bushes for myself and gave the rest away to friends. For me, they turned out to be mid-late season. It’s a determinate bush, but it definitely has some growth potential. All of mine were very uniform, reaching up to 3.2 ft (1 m) tall.<\/p>\n

The bush in the picture is already half-picked. I almost didn’t post this photo because of the dry cracked dirt you can see on the ground, but couldn’t find a better shot.<\/p>\n

Yield ended up being really solid. A little less than the Caspar F1 hybrid and similar types, but definitely more than a lot of other standard canning varieties.<\/p>\n

The taste was a really pleasant surprise. The fruits are firm, but they aren’t rock-hard. The skin isn’t overly tough, and you can really taste the sweetness in them. I happily snacked on them right off the bush. Makes great juice, too.<\/p>\n

So Missouri (along with Ivanushka) turned out to be my great discovery of the year.<\/p>\n

Seeds were from Esme. \ud83e\udd20<\/p>\n

Turned out mid-late season for me too. In the greenhouse, they hit about 4 ft (1.2 m) tall.
\nYield was slightly above average. Taste is good, practically zero acidity. Maybe a tiny bit mild.<\/p>\n

The fruits are nice and firm, absolutely perfect for canning, but you can definitely eat them fresh off the vine too.<\/p>\n
