Shelby (STM2117) Hybrid Tomato F1

$399

The Shelby Tomato is a determinate hybrid variety that thrives in conditions that other tomatoes would surely suffer. The extensive disease package of the Shelby is what sets this San Marzano-style fruit apart from the rest. The dark red fruits are extra-large, weighing from 3.5 to 5.5 ounces, and the elongated barrel-style stores well after harvest. The widely-adapted plants are hardy and compact and will produce even in the harshest conditions. Solanum Lycopersicum. 75 Days to maturity. 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 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.

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.

Prolific and Delicious!

I’ve grown these the past two Summers and also in the Fall of last year.
These are the most prolific producers among hybrids that I’ve ever grown, especially the Fall planting.
I’m in the Texoma area of N Texas so our tomatoes get pretty much blitzed in late July and August. I started seedlings for a second planting July 1st and in the ground Aug 7th. They produced from the 3rd week of Oct until mid November. I plan the same for 2025 and I’m going to keep track of weight of production this time.

A 5 star sauce tomato

Oh my! Beautiful red fruit produced in bountiful quantities, the Shelby makes an excellent sauce or salsa tomato. The sauce from this tomato is a deep red. 100% germination and you can bet we will grow again.

Great producer

Planted 40 of these and boy did they produce. Pulled down my Florida Weave and Snapped some of the strings. Make sure your support can take the load. I left them in the ground and they produced a second crop in early fall. (Alabama).

Always buy fresh pelleted seeds

I ordered Shelby and Hoss pelleted seeds last fall for this year, wanting to get a jump on 2024. Germination rate was about 50%. Ordered fresh seeds in early Feb 2024 and 100% Germination in less than a week.
