F-Resistant to fusarium wilt.

N-Resistant to nematodes.

T-Resistant to tobacco mosaic virus.

A-Resistant to alternaria.

Growth habit key

Determinate habit-Bush type growth. The plant stops growing when the fruit sets. The majority of fruit develop at the same time which is good for canning.

Indeterminate habit-Vine type growth. Best grown with stakes or in cages. Fruit develops continuously throughout the season.

Improve your yields and tomato size. Use Happy Frog Tomato & Vegetable Fertilizer at planting and through the season.

*Days to maturity is how long a plant takes to grow from seed to harvest. 
The fact we start the plants indoors, but Colorado is a cooler climate makes this number fairly close to the days from
when you set starter plants into your garden. Use this as a relative term anyway and
remember Denver normally has an 80 day growing season.

Availability of varieties may vary from day to day. Call for current availability.
