New Jersey Cherry and Grape Tomato Variety Trials

摘要

The market for cherry and grape tomatoes keeps growing. The popularity of grape tomatoes especially has surged in many regions. However, limited seed availability for 'Santa,' the first tomato marketed as a grape tomato, persists. Consequently, tomatobreeders have introduced other varieties of grape tomatoes. New varieties of cherry tomatoes continue to be developed as well. Growers in the sandy soil, tomato-producing areas of New Jersey are renowned for their tasty Jersey tomatoes. These Garden State producers also enjoy certain climate and location advantages for access to the sizeable Northeast markets.
