The Rutgers Tomato is a special tomato that produces bright red round fruit on hardy, disease resistant vines. The strain was originally introduced by Rutgers University in 1934 for Campbell’s Soup as a hybrid for commercial breeders. Since then, she has been selected for open pollination and developed as a modern commercial heirloom.
Rutgers tomatoes average 2 to 4 inches in diameter and weigh about 1 pound per fruit.
70 days to maturity.
