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. It features a smooth, firm globe shape and an attractive scarlet red skin with a deep red flesh whose flavor is truly remarkable. 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.

Perfect germination

I purchased the 10 seeds option of Hossinator Tomato and was skeptical. I actually received 15 seeds. I planted each seed in its own container. Within a week all containers had a sprout. Wow, 100% germination. Today I transplanted beautiful tomato plants into my garden. They could have been transplanted sooner however stormy weather precluded it. I have been vegetable gardening for over 40 years and these are the best tomato plants I have ever started from seeds.

Great purchase

This is first year trying the Hossinator tomato. The seeds germinated within just a few days and I had a 100% germination rate. I can't wait until I get some ripe tomatoes to try.
