Origin & history
A 1950s California field tomato, the 55 marking its improved-resistance re-selection; a garden standard across the arid West.
Measurements
| Measurement | Value | Context |

| Days to maturity | 75-80 days | Consensus range across the cited commercial catalogs; no independent source documents it yet. |
Traits
Disease resistance
| Code | Disease | Level | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| V | Verticillium Wilt (Verticillium dahliae) | resistant | Breeder declared |
| F | Fusarium Wilt of Tomato (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici) | resistant | Breeder declared |
Breeder declared means the resistance was stated by whoever breeds or sells the seed. That is not a reason to disbelieve it, and for most resistance genes it is the only evidence that exists: the breeder screens the line and publishes the result in their catalog, and no independent party re-tests it. We label it rather than quietly presenting it as though someone had checked.
