Bright red 8-10 oz. fruits have an incredible old-time tomato taste. This is an improved strain that is resistant to Verticillium wilt (V) and Fusarium wilt (F).

History: The Rutgers tomato was developed by Campbell Soup Co. in 1928 from a cross of Marglobe and J.T.D. It was later refined by Rutgers Univ. in 1943 for more disease resistance. The Rutgers tomato once accounted for 70% of the processed tomatoes in the United States. A fine New Jersey heirloom.
