Know before you buy
Indeterminate means the plant will continue to grow, flower, and produce fruit throughout the entire season until the first frost. Because of this continuous growth, you will need to provide a sturdy trellis or cage to support the vines.
Yes, because this is an open-pollinated variety, you can successfully save the seeds. The plants grown from these seeds will remain true-to-type, meaning they will produce the same yellow, pear-shaped fruit as the parent plant.
You can expect the first fruits to mature in 75 to 80 days after transplanting. Since the plant is indeterminate, it will continue to ripen fruit over an extended period throughout the summer.
No, this variety is not recommended for containers. Due to its indeterminate growth habit, it requires significant space and soil depth, making it best suited for in-ground garden beds with proper spacing.
This variety is bred with resistance to Fusarium wilt (races 1 and 2) and Verticillium wilt. These are common soil-borne fungal diseases that can otherwise impact tomato plant health.
For optimal germination, plant your seeds at a depth of 0.635 cm. Ensure they are kept in a warm environment with full sun exposure once they sprout to encourage strong, healthy growth.
