Story:
This tomato was bred by Auburn University in Alabama back in the mid 1960’s. It has Rutgers in the breeding lines.
Here is a nice PDF leaflet about the variety when it was developed.
This is a good older commercial variety bred to withstand heat and humidity and with a nice disease resistance. Fruits are a slightly flatted red globe that average around 8 oz and can get up to a pound.
The fruit are meaty with a small core. Fruit have a nice level of juice and good old fashioned flavor – not too sweet. It is good for both fresh eating and canning or drying. The plant is vigorous with strong stems and good production. A nice workhorse tomato.
Even though it was bred for the south, and is very popular there, it handles cooler weather well and is quite early in maturity.
