Origin & history
Released by the University of Arkansas in 1961 and still the pink tomato of choice across much of the mid-South, where its heat tolerance and fusarium resistance outlast fussier varieties.
Measurements
| Measurement | Value | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Days to maturity | 75-80 days | Consensus range across the cited commercial catalogs; no independent source documents it yet. |
| Fruit weight | 6-8 oz | Typical range for the cultivar, as a consensus across the cited sources. Not a measured mean from any single crop: fruit weight varies with season, spacing and where on the plant the fruit set. |
Traits
Disease resistance
| Code | Disease | Level | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
