Tomato - Arkansas Traveler

Product Info

This Heirloom tomato was bred in Arkansas to withstand hot, humid conditions and has good disease resistance. The 6 to 8 ounce pink fruits resist cracking and have an excellent sweet/tart flavor. The plant will produce an excellent harvest even under adverse growing conditions. At over 100 years old, this tomato has produced year after year and has quite a following of dedicated gardeners. Used as a canning variety, but is also an excellent fresh slicing tomato. The indeterminate plants can grow 5 to 6 feet in height and will benefit from staking.

Water:	Water regularly for 1 week after setting plants in the garden. Tomatoes need at least 1" of water per week, maybe more depending on the weather. Water early in the day, deeply at the roots. Avoid splashing on leaves as moisture retained on foliage overnight could trigger disease on your tomatoes. Do not overwater.
