One of the truly great characteristics of the Hossinator, though, is that despite being a hybrid, it has the amazing vine-ripe acidic flavor of an heirloom tomato that is difficult to find today. The Hossinator has a medium growth height and produces impressively large fruits that average 8oz - 12oz each with no pruning needed. However, this variety can benefit from pruning to grow truly massive, award-winning tomatoes. If you want to grow huge tomatoes, simply prune suckers from the bottom of the plant up to the 4th limb. Pelleted.

Growing Information
Hossinators are by far and away the most disease resistant and hearty determinant variety I've ever grown. I'm in North Georgia and we get heat and humidity 5-6 months out of the year. These Hossinators got HUGE and there were plenty on each plant even up to August before blight did what does to all determinants. They're going to be a staple in my garden moving forward no doubt!
Had a tough year with tomatoes in the high heat and humidity of Virginia. Researched determinate varieties from the south that would stand up to the conditions next year. Hoss seemed to have the best selection so I loaded up. We'll see what works then we'll reload again for the following year. All the videos from Hoss were a prime source for making our selection. Great company, great videos, looking forward to great tomatoes.
I bought a variety of seeds for the fall garden as well as tomatoes, bell pepper and cucumber for the greenhouse. Pretty much everything germinated within three days. I moved them outside under shade and see how they progress.
Poor germination. A few did and folded over at 6" or at transplant. Whether it was damping off or something else who knows. But other varieties have done quite well, even in the Florida heat.
Time to put these things to the test. Im in zone 10B SoFlo where its hotter then the devils jock strap on leg day. Started the seeds about 3 weeks ago and all have popped nicely. Just moved from seed trays to larger pots . Been mid 90s for past 2 weeks w no relief in sight but I need to have these ready to go in the ground by late Sept. So far hardy little plants. Updates to come.
