Default 'Mountain Gem' F1 hybrid tomato

A new hybrid named 'Mountain Gem' is now available from Seedway and in small amounts from Twilley Seeds. It is determinate, homozygous for the crimson gene (ogc), with very large fruit. Interior color is uniform bright red, and flavor is good for a firm-fruited, high yielding, determinate type with concentrated fruit set. Disease resistances incude verticillium wilt (Ve), fusarium wilt races 1 and 2 (I, I-2), TSWV (Sw-5), tomato mosaic virus (Tm-2), and late blight (Ph-2 + Ph-3 combined). It has shown wide adaptability and is adapted for home garden, local market, and large scale commercial production for both conventional and organic culture.

The combination of good horticultural traits and wide disease resistances should make it useful for those doing further breeding.
