Usage/Other Information
This well known heirloom is "crack" resistant. Heirloom tomatoes have far more flavor than the traditional hybrid tomatoes available at most stores. Heirlooms are nonhybrid, so they reproduce perfectly from seeds (unlike hybrids). In fact, these tomatoes are called "heirloom" or "heritage" tomatoes because the seeds have been passed down for generations.
· Hardiness Zone: 11-15
