I have grown New Yorker and we did so on the farm lo those many years ago. I put it in the same category as Valiant and Marglobe and similar. That is, once a staple variety for commercial growers.

It was developed for NE growers and I still recommend it to folks for canning, more so than a fresh eating tomato.

But opinions differ.

While I think it's a very good reliable variety I think there are other varieties that are similar that are better as far as taste goes.

FYI, in the SSE listings Tania lists it at 60 days and the other folks who list it in the same 2007 SSE Yearbook list it at 85, 85 and 70 days.
