Tomato Slicing Indeterminate Rutgers Non-GMO Heirloom Seeds embody nearly a century of agricultural refinement and proven performance. Developed at Rutgers University in 1934, this distinguished variety has earned its place as a cornerstone heirloom through exceptional flavor, structural integrity, and versatile culinary applications. The bright red, globular fruits weighing 6 to 8 ounces feature thick walls and minimal seed cavity—characteristics that enhance slicing quality, reduce moisture loss during storage, and provide superior texture for both fresh consumption and preservation. The crack-resistant fruit skin demonstrates superior durability during harvest, handling, and transport, making Rutgers particularly valuable for market growers and small-scale commercial operations. Indeterminate growth habit on tall, vigorous vines ensures sustained productivity throughout an extended growing season, with maturation occurring in approximately 80 days from transplant. Built-in resistance to Fusarium Wilt Race F1 significantly reduces disease pressure and management complexity across diverse growing conditions. Germination rates of 80% or higher provide reliable seed establishment and consistent plant development. The variety's proven track record across home gardens, market operations, and commercial canning facilities demonstrates its adaptability and resilience. Non-GMO seeds are sustainably sourced and packaged in reusable, recyclable, climate-conscious materials, honoring both the historical significance of this variety and contemporary environmental stewardship principles.

This is an heirloom seed, meaning it has been passed down from generation to generation for at least 75 years. As a rule, heirloom seeds taste better and will grow the same year after year.

These are also open pollinated meaning they will reproduce themselves. While all heirlooms are open pollinated not all open pollinated seeds are heirlooms.
