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
For years the dominant fresh-market hybrid in Florida's winter production, prized for jointless pedicels and fruit firm enough to survive the mature-green harvest and ripening chain.

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 60% 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.
Traits
Disease resistance
| Code | Disease | Level | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| FF | Fusarium Wilt of Tomato (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici) | resistant | Independently observed |
| V | Verticillium Wilt (Verticillium dahliae) | resistant | Independently observed |
| St | Gray Leaf Spot (Stemphylium spp.) | resistant | Independently observed |
| ASC | Alternaria Stem Canker (Alternaria alternata f. sp. lycopersici) | resistant | Independently observed |
FF records that this variety has some resistance to this disease without naming which gene. The pathogen has 3 named races that different genes answer differently, so how much of it this covers is not established by the source.
V records that this variety has some resistance to this disease without naming which gene. The pathogen has 3 named races that different genes answer differently, so how much of it this covers is not established by the source.
Fusarium Wilt of Tomato: Recorded at disease level. This pathogen has 3 named races that varieties meet differently, and the source we cite does not distinguish them.
Verticillium Wilt: Recorded at disease level. This pathogen has 3 named races that varieties meet differently, and the source we cite does not distinguish them.
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.
