Tomato 'Coyote'

Needs to be caged or staked.

Coyote likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Coyote is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Coyote requires a loamy soil with a ph of 5.0 - 6.0 - it grows best in moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil.

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 2.60 feet (80.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.78 inches (2.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Coyote about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplant out when around 15cm (6 inches) high.

Plant to first set of leaves to promote strong roots.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Coyote is a tender plant.

Expect harvests to start to occur in mid summer.

Maye Clement brought Craig Lehoullier a branch of half a dozen of these tomatoes which he displayed at the PA Hort. Society Harvest Show in the late 1980’s.
