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, 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.

The Hossinator Tomato is an absolute show-stopper! This determinate slicer variety is extremely versatile and has been widely adapted to successfully grow in different regions and seasons.

The Hossinator has been bred to have one of the best disease packages of any tomato on the market.

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.

Fall garden

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.

Didn't go well

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.

The 7th Ring of Dantes Inferno

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.
