The Scarlet Pumpkin Late Tomato (Tomate Rouge Tardive Potiron Écarlate) is a stunning French heirloom variety producing large, heavily ribbed fruits shaped like a small pumpkin. With its bright scarlet-red skin and meaty flesh, it is highly productive and appreciated for its rich, sweet flavor balanced with gentle acidity.
As a late-season tomato, it provides abundant harvests when other varieties are finishing.
 
Why Grow Scarlet Pumpkin Tomato?
This heirloom variety is renowned for its impressive size and ornamental beauty.
Individual fruits can weigh 300–600 g, making them ideal for slicing and cooking. Its thick flesh and low seed content make it perfect for sauces, roasting, and stuffing.
Culturally significant in French gardens, it combines productivity, beauty, and authentic old-world taste.
 
Plant & Care
Provide stakes or cages for support. Space plants 60–80 cm apart, water deeply at the base, and mulch to preserve soil moisture. Fruits typically mature in 80–90 days.
 
Harvest & Culinary Uses
Harvest when fruits turn a deep scarlet-red and feel slightly soft. Their ribbed pumpkin-like shape makes them a showpiece in the garden and kitchen. Excellent fresh in salads and sandwiches, but especially prized for sauces, slow-cooked dishes, and gourmet presentations. Their meaty flesh also makes them perfect for stuffing.
