Origin & history
A greenhouse and humid-climate standard descended from the Florida program, valued for setting cleanly under heat and carrying a broad resistance package for an open-pollinated variety.
Measurements
| Measurement | Value | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Days to maturity | 80-85 days | Consensus range across the cited commercial catalogs; no independent source documents it yet. |
Traits
Disease resistance
| Code | Disease | Level | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| F | Fusarium Wilt of Tomato (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici) | resistant | Breeder declared |
| V | Verticillium Wilt (Verticillium dahliae) | resistant | Breeder declared |
| St | Gray Leaf Spot (Stemphylium spp.) | resistant | Breeder declared |
| TMV | Tobacco Mosaic Virus (Tobamovirus tabaci / ToMV) | 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.
