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.
The breeder attribution here is supported by NC State Fresh-Market Tomato Breeding Program (Mountain series). These claims name their own evidence rather than resting on the record's source list as a whole, because a species that distinguishes a variety, or an attribution to a breeding programme, is worth being able to check on its own.
Origin & history
NC State's pink-fruited entry in the Mountain series, aimed at growers who want heirloom-style pink color with modern late blight resistance and shipping quality.

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.
later than 54% 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ph-2+Ph-3 | Late Blight (Phytophthora infestans) | resistant | Independently observed |
| V | Verticillium Wilt (Verticillium dahliae) | resistant | Independently observed |
| FF | Fusarium Wilt of Tomato (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici) | resistant | Independently observed |
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.
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.
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.
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.
