Grey captions say what stands behind that particular figure. Breeding, growth habit and fruit characters carry no caption because they rest on the record's sources as a whole rather than citing their own; closing that gap is ordinary outstanding work, not a finished job.

Origin & history

A 2020 All-America Selections winner: a semi-determinate grape tomato with late blight resistance, bred to give container growers a snacking variety that survives a wet August.

Against the rest of the tomato database

Where this variety sits among every tomato we hold a comparable figure for. Position is not merit: earlier is not better than later, and hotter is not better than milder. Only cultivar-level figures are compared, never trial results, and maturity is only ranked against figures counted the same way.

earlier than 93% of the 258 tomatoes we hold a figure for. None of these figures state whether they are counted from sowing or from transplant, so they are ranked against each other on the assumption that suppliers use one convention, which is not something any of them says.

Every resistance claim here cites a publisher's whole output rather than one publication, and does not say where inside it the statement appears, so it cannot be looked up as cited. That is a gap in our records rather than a judgement on the claim, and it is counted and being worked down.

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.
