Know before you buy
Indeterminate plants continue to grow, flower, and produce fruit throughout the entire growing season until the first frost. You will need to provide sturdy staking or a trellis to support the vines as they reach their full height.
The Jersey Breeze produces substantial slicing tomatoes that weigh between 10 and 12 ounces each. They are ideal for sandwiches, salads, or fresh eating.
Because this is an indeterminate variety that grows quite large, it is best suited for in-ground garden beds or very large containers. If using a container, ensure it is at least 5 to 10 gallons and provide a heavy-duty cage for support.
The Jersey Breeze is specifically bred for reliable garden performance and improved disease resistance. While no tomato is immune to all issues, this variety is more robust and dependable than many traditional heirloom types.
These tomatoes offer a classic, balanced flavor profile that is both tart and sweet. They are known for having a toothsome, juicy texture that mimics the quality of vine-ripened tomatoes.
Yes, the Jersey Breeze seeds are certified organic. They are sourced and packaged by Hudson Valley Seed Co. and come in their signature artist-designed packets.
