ACE 55 IS A TOMATO THAT LOW IN ACID, PERFECT FOR THOSE WHO LOVE THE SWEET TASTE OF FRESH TOMATOES, BUT NOT THE ACID. DEVELOPED BY THE CAMPBELL’S SOUP COMPANY, ACE 55 PRODUCES LARGE, ROUND 7 TO 8 OUNCE TOMATOES THAT AVERAGE 5” TO 6” IN DIAMETER. THE TOMATOES ARE THICK WALLED WITH RED FLESH, AND RIPEN VERY UNIFORMLY. ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED FOR FARMER’S MARKETS, ACE 55 IS A PICTURE-PERFECT TOMATO, THEY RESIST CRACKING AND BRUISING AND ALSO STORE VERY WELL. THESE ACE 55 TOMATOES ARE A FANTASTIC CHOICE FOR EATING FRESH! THE PLANTS ARE VERY VIGOROUS, AND ARE A DETERMINATE VARIETY, MEANING THEY PRODUCE A HEAVY CROP ALL AT ONCE. GROWING ONLY 24" TO 48" ACE TOMATOES CAN ALSO BE GROWN OUTSIDE IN LARGE CONTAINERS. SINCE ACE 55 TOMATOES ARE SO LOW IN ACID, THEY CANNOT BE CANNED USING THE WATER-BATH METHOD. THEY MUST BE PROCESSED USING A PRESSURE CANNER.
