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 bloom set. Tomatoes do best when transplanted, as the germination time can be longer than most vegetable seed. They grow very well in our heavy-duty seed starting trays. Plants should be started 4-6 weeks before the intended outdoor planting date.

If conditions outside are favorable, transplants may be planted directly from our 162 cell trays. If conditions are still too cold for planting tomatoes, transplants may be "stepped-up" to 4" pots to allow more room to grow. Tomatoes can produce heavy fruits and will require some form of support to keep the plant upright. This ensures that plants and fruits stay off the ground, reducing the possibility of disease and keeping fruits clean.

My WORK HORSE in 8b South, almost 9

I pair this with Dixie Red for my two go-to determinate slicing tomatoes in our garden near Savannah, GA. GREAT disease resistance and great productivity. I have grown over 100 varieties of determinate slicers here and this one has outperformed every single one. It can do very well in 15-20 gal containers, though not as well as in-ground. Space according because this is a very robust plant. I use tall cages reinforced with a Florida weave around the CAGES. The only determinate variety I have to trim to allow better air-flow. Do your best to keep leaf-footed bugs off them because the fruit is particularly sensitive to their damage.

I have grown about 35 different varieties of determinate slicers in my garden along the GA coast and this variety always stands out.
