(283-397 g), exhibit minimal cracking, and are delicious. GinFiz has excellent early fruit yields and incorporates leaf mold resistance for improved high tunnel production. GinFiz is a generative plant and benefits from grafting and single leader production.
MaiTai F1
HR: ToMV:0-2/ToANV/Ff:A-E/Va:0/Vd:0/Fol:0,1/For
MaiTai is an attractive yellow round tomato with a delicate red blush at the blossom end. The eating quality of this variety won us over in our trials, with a sweet tangy flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture. Fruits average 6-10 oz. (170-283 g). MaiTai has good vigor and productivity, with leaf mold resistance for improved high tunnel production. MaiTai has thin skin and should not be over-irrigated to avoid cracking.
Marsalato F1
HR: ToMV:0-2/ToANV/Ff:A-E/Va:0/Vd:0/Fol:0/For.
This unique Marmande tomato originates from our specialty breeding program in Italy, and yields high numbers of 6.7 oz. (190 g) red fruit with deeply ribbed shoulders, a shiny exterior and small blossom scar. With a balanced, generative growth habit and leaf mold resistance, Marsalato is well-suited for protected culture, but also is adaptable to the open field, especially in more moderate climates. We suggest harvesting fruit with slightly green shoulders for a crisp texture and a tangy flavor.
