Manitoba tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
This vibrant red tomato, developed in the 1950s at the Morden Experimental Farm in Manitoba, stands out for its early production, making it ideal for regions with short growing seasons. The smooth, slightly flattened fruits, measuring 10 cm in diameter, boast firm and flavorful flesh with a refreshing tang. Perfect for slicing or canning, this determinate variety also exhibits good resistance to fusarium wilt and verticillium wilt.
