'Defiant' Tomato

'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.

'Momotaro' Tomato

Also called 'Tough Boy', 'Momotaro' tomatoes are a hybrid variety popular in Japan for their pink color and sweet taste. The 8-ounce fruits mature in just 75 days, produce continuously over the growing season and are disease-resistant.
