Moneymaker

Moneymaker Tomato Seeds

[75-80 days] Originally bred in Bristol in the early 1900s, the Moneymaker tomato has been a popular cash crop for farmers for well over a century. The vines produce heavy yields of medium-sized (4-6 oz.), bright-red fruit and perform admirably well in hot weather. The fruits are sweet with just enough bite to let your taste buds know that this, indeed, is a classic tomato.

Although it prefers more heat and humidity than less (it was originally bred as a greenhouse tomato), Moneymaker performs well in outside as well and will set fruit in just about any weather.

Indeterminate. (Needs staking.)
