Rutgers Tomato, Heirloom Seeds — The Unsurpassed Flavor Standard for Slicing and Canning

Rutgers (Lycopersicon lycopersicum) is recognized for its unsurpassed flavor in both slicing and cooking — a medium to large, smooth 6–8 oz fruit with a globular shape, thick walls, and bright red color. Large bushy plants with thick stems produce heavy yields. Full-bodied flavor is good for everything — salads, slicing, and canning. A great choice for short-season growing areas. Indeterminate. 75 days.

Why Grow Rutgers?

  • Unsurpassed flavor for slicing and canning — the benchmark heirloom for all-around use
  • 6–8 oz smooth, globular, bright red fruits — thick walls, full-bodied flavor
  • Heavy yields from large bushy plants — thick stems, reliable production
  • Great for short-season areas — reliable where the season is brief
  • Open-pollinated heirloom — save seed year after year

Growing Notes

Start indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost. Transplant outdoors after frost danger has passed, spacing plants 24–36 inches apart in full sun. Stake or cage. Water consistently. Harvest when fruits are fully red and slightly soft. 75 days from transplant.
