Plum Regal Tomato ( F1 Hybrid, 75 Days)

First time for us offering a plum tomato with a strong disease resistance package. Blocky fruits grow on medium sized plants. We found the Plum Regal Tomato perfect for a bounty of late season tomatoes for that last batch of canning sauce or salsa. Disease Resistance- Fusarium races 1 & 2, Late Blight, Verticillium, Early Blight

10 seeds

Solanum lycopersicum

Determinate

Germination: 7-14 days

Germination Temperature: Optimum soil temperatures 70-85ºF.

Seed Sowing Depth: 1/4” deep

Starting Indoors: 6 weeks before the last frost. Provide 75-80ºF soil temperatures. Sow 2-3 seeds per cell/pot, thin to the strongest seedling, or use the 20 Row seedling flat, transplanting into individual pots when seedlings get their 3rd set of leaves. Fertilize the seedlings every 7-10 days with a liquid or water soluble fertilizer, diluted to ¼ of the suggested measurement. Transplant out after the last frost. Space 24-36" apart

Sowing Outdoors: Only in areas with very long growing seasons. Sow after last frost. 

Harvest: When the fruit is red (or the color of the variety planted) and firm.

Tips: The Plum Regal Tomato should be planted in fertile soil, amended with compost and mulch, and provided with even moisture. Plant deeper than they were growing in the containers, as it makes a stronger root system. Apply a light compost tea every few weeks. Do not apply excessive nitrogen, which can promote excessive foliage and poor fruit set.
