Wisconsin Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) - Originally developed at the University of Wisconsin in the 1940s, this classic heirloom slicer has been revived through recent selections with excellent results. Wisconsin shows very little shoulder cracking or blossom end rot and produces vigorous plants with good tolerance to defoliation diseases. In our trials, it has shown particularly strong resistance to early blight and leaf spot. Medium‑large deep red fruits are ideal for slicing, fresh eating, cooking, canning, and freezing.
Indeterminate growth.
75–80 days to maturity from transplant.
25 seeds per packet.
Planting Instructions: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Sow ¼ inch deep and keep the soil warm. Transplant seedlings into 1-inch cells or 3–4 inch pots at the 1–2 leaf stage. Harden off plants for 4–5 days once the danger of frost has passed. Transplant outdoors when day and night temperatures consistently stay above 10°C.
