Unleash the timeless charm of the legendary Jersey tomato with Lycopersicon lycopersicum 'Rutgers'. Introduced in 1934, these Rutgers Tomatoes are a product of meticulous crossbreeding between J.T.D., an esteemed New Jersey variety from the Campbell Soup Company, and the robust Marglobe. Known for their unrivaled taste, these tomatoes are perfect for both slicing and cooking, boasting a rich, luscious flavor that remains unmatched. Presenting slightly flattened, bright red fruits weighing between 4-6 ounces, these tomatoes are not only tastefully exquisite but also visually appealing.

Cultivate tall, resilient vines exhibiting Fusarium resistance and enjoy a fruitful yield with a mature height of 68-80 inches and a mature spread ranging from 32-54 inches. An indeterminate variety, they continue to produce throughout the season, adapting to various garden environments. Their crack-resistant skin, smooth, thick walls, and small seed cavity enhance their culinary appeal. The open-pollinated nature ensures genetic diversity while maintaining true-to-type seeds for generations. Recapture the essence of New Jersey's rich agricultural heritage with this iconic garden staple.
