(Determinate/70-75 days)
Rutgers is a classic New Jersey heirloom that was introduced in 1934! It has been preserved for it’s ability to produce heavy yields of tasty, uniform, bright-red, thick walled fruit. These are great fresh and a excellent one for canning or markets because of its ability to hold up well after being picked. This variety also has good disease resistance.

Planting Instructions – Start tomato seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost date. Do not plant out until 2 weeks after last frost. Tomato seeds require high soil temperatures for good germination rates. We highly recommend heat mats to ensure and speed up germination. Pot up to 3–4 inch pots when first true leaves develop (not cotyledon leaves). Harden off plants for 1-2 weeks in full sun before transplanting them outside (after last frost). Make sure to give tomato plants a lot of space for vigorous root and foliage growth.
