Seeking Heat Resistant Inteterminate Tomato

tlcmd · December 28, 2006

Here in the northern piedmont area of N.C., I've never worried about heat resistance, but this past summer, I tried several heirloom tomatoes as well as beefeaters and Park's Whoppers. In years past, I've been overwhelmed with tomatoes by late July. However last summer, even with proper soil, fertilizer, and water, the heat really hammered production. I'd like to add a heat resistant indeterminate variety or two to cover another really hot summer. Suggestions, please. Thanks.

Traveler (aka Arkansas Traveler) and Sioux are both reliable in hot / humid weather. I believe Porter is also, however I've never grown it.
