Tomato Varieties for the Northeast

'Defiant' was a new tomato hybrid for 2011. Like its name, 'Defiant' is truly defiant of several different tomato viruses. It is highly resistant to late blight and moderately resistant to early blight. It is a medium-sized slicing tomato that is deep red and is carried on determinate plants. 

Bearing fruit 50 days after planting makes 'Early Girl' a favorite hybrid tomato for those racing to get their fruit first. It's also an indeterminate variety so 'Early Girl' will continue to produce fruit throughout the growing season.

Sweet, meaty 'Juliet' tomatoes are ready to harvest in about 60 days. These grape-shaped fruits resist cracking and are a great choice for gardeners whose growing seasons are short or whose climates are cool.

'Genuwine' hybrids boast meaty fruits that develop in as little as 70 days, more than a week earlier than 'Brandywine' tomatoes.
