Jersey Boy tomato

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jersey Boy tomato (Lycopersicon lycopersicum) is a type of beefsteak tomato in the family Solanaceae, a hybrid cultivar of the Rutgers and the Brandywine tomatoes by Burpee Seeds. It made its first appearance as commercial seed registered 2014 and released circa 2015.[1]

Burpee dubs it the “Supertomato” because it draws the best attributes of another hybrid and the heirloom Brandywine. The 8 oz. to 10 oz. fruits combine the Brandywine's sweet-sour with the Rutgers classic rich color, thicker skin, and yield.[2] The plant does not seed. Its flowers are sterile.[citation needed]
