  • To prevent blight and other foliar diseases, it is important to avoid watering the leaves and to use Serenade Garden Disease Control or a copper fungicide as needed

Been growing Opalka tomatoes for several years. Love the solid, large fruit with few seeds and excellent flavor. One of 2 main varieties we grow on a Florida Weave system. Perfect for canning and BLT's.

Opalka Heirloom Tomato

Imagine my shock when I found the box of Opakla tomato seedlings tucked behind the only decorative object on my front porch! (Remember, it's early in the season.) I expected the delivery four days prior and kept looking for it. I opened the box from GrowJoy and the seedlings still looked great, despite unusually high early spring temperatures. Thanks GrowJoy! Plants still looked good after 4 days in the USPS box!

Outstanding!

Easily the finest paste type I've ever grown. Great tasting , easy to peel sweet fruit are virtually seedless. Used in salsa = thick and chunky. Prolific and beautiful plant grows in a way that shields fruit from sun scald. It was the last tomato plant to be pulled from garden last fall and still producing. Will definitely buy again!

Beautiful Plants

We ordered 7 Opalka Tomato plants after our own seedlings didn't make it. They were shipped quickly and were well packaged. They are growing beautifully now despite our dry weather. I will not hesitate to order again next year!

Looking good

I received several tomato plants this year when I received them I was a little worried, because they where pretty small. They are all flowering, except one!
