What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Grow the classic, dependable flavor of Ace 55-VF Tomato Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. This determinate heirloom variety produces an abundance of medium, round fruits averaging 5–6 inches across, with bright red skin and thick, juicy flesh. Known for its lower acid content and traditional tomato profile, Ace 55-VF is a great choice for gardeners who want a reliable, crack-resistant producer that performs well in both outdoor gardens and greenhouses.

Old-Fashioned, Reliable, and Naturally Low-Acid:
Ace 55-VF offers the familiar look and taste of a traditional American tomato. Its firm walls and balanced, mild flavor make it ideal for fresh eating, slicing, or pairing with summer dishes. Because it is lower acid, it should be pressure canned for safe long-term preservation.

Why Customers Love Ace 55-VF Tomatoes:

  • Produces classic medium-sized tomatoes with vibrant scarlet skin
  • Determinate plants that set abundant fruit over a compact period
  • Naturally low-acid tomatoes ideal for fresh use
  • Crack-resistant fruits that hold up well in the garden
  • Performs reliably in both greenhouse and outdoor settings
  • Heirloom quality for consistent flavor and dependable production

How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Transplant seedlings into the garden once temperatures remain consistently warm, spacing plants to allow airflow and sun exposure. Provide sturdy support for the vines and water regularly to encourage strong growth and uniform fruit development. Ace 55-VF thrives in full sun and benefits from nutrient-rich, well-drained soil.

Harvest & Use:
Harvest fruits when they reach full red color and feel firm. Enjoy fresh slices on sandwiches, salads, or summer recipes. For preserving, use a pressure canner due to the tomato’s naturally lower acidity.
