Tomato , Rutgers 250 (Medium red globe) NEW ADDITION

Developed as a tribute to Rutgers University 250th anniversary, this improved version draws from the original in 1934 & was carefully re-developed using parent seeds (JTD & Marglobe) from the Campbell Soup Company. The primary goal was to revive the classic "Jersey" flavour of the 1930s, which had faded due to commercial cultivation over time. Its firm, smooth, thick-skinned & slightly flattened, with vibrant red, globe-shaped fruits are known for crack resistance & a balanced sugar-acidity profile, retaining the traditional taste, with a nuanced blend of sweetness & tartness & a subtle bite & bred for resilience against Verticillium & Fusarium wilt, Seed Count Approx - 15 avg
