Tomato – Bloody Butcher

Description

Days to maturity: 55                   Fruit size: 3-4 oz. on clusters

Indeterminate

A sensational and very popular, early producing tomato variety. A good choice for a tomato as you wait for later varieties to harvest. These are vigorous, potato-leaf plants that a plentiful harvest of 2″, 4 oz, fruits that are deep-red color, inside and out. Five to nine fruits per cluster with a rich heirloom tomato flavor. Plant produces well until frost. A good tomato variety for cooler growing regions since fruits ripen quickly. A good canning tomato. Best grown with supports or a cage, prune away low hanging branches to reduce disease. Tomatoes have high water needs and should be watered regularly and mulched with weed barrier or wood chips to retain moisture. Fertilize heavily once fruit production begins to ensure the best harvest!
