Description

Be sure to check out our Tomato Growing Guide for tips & tricks on being successful in growing tomatoes at home.

One of the truly great characteristics of the Hossinator (STM2255), 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 (STM2255) 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

Tomatoes are in the nightshade family along with peppers and eggplant. Plants in the nightshade family are susceptible to blossom end rot, which is a result of a calcium deficiency. To prevent or alleviate this problem, apply pelleted gypsum at the base of the plant at the bloom set. Tomatoes do best when transplanted, as the germination time can be longer than most vegetable Seeds. They grow very well in our heavy-duty seed starting trays. Plants should be started 4-6 weeks before the intended outdoor planting date.

The most AMAZING producer I have ever had

In 2023 we grew 20 different kinds of tomato plants (228 plants total), and the indeterminate Jet Star was our favorite that year. Incredible production. This year we only grew 12 different kinds of tomatoes, and only 178 total plants. 42 of those plants were the Hossinators, a determinate we were trying for the first time. We liked the disease resistance they offered. We figured as a determinate it would have a short 2-3 week harvest period. Holy Cow, were we wrong! Not only did the Hossinator grow over six feet tall, but every day since the start of May, we get three 5-gallon buckets filled with the most beautiful, round, large and picturesque, tasty tomatoes. Over 1000 so far over 10 weeks and more to go!
Next year, we decided we are only going to do two cherry tomato plants, and about 100 Hossinators. When they are totally ripe there is no better slicing tomato!
