Mountain Fresh Plus Hybrid Tomato Seeds User Manual

1. Pwodwi souview

Mountain Fresh Plus Hybrid Tomato Seeds produce a determinate plant, characterized by a bushier growth habit rather than continuous vining. This growth pattern results in the fruit setting within a concentrated several-week period, which is advantageous for harvesting and processing large quantities for canning, freezing, or drying.

This variety exhibits strong resistance to common plant diseases such as verticillium wilt and fusarium wilt. The fruit itself is crack-resistant, and the plant demonstrates tolerance to root knot nematodes. Its adaptability extends to tolerating rainy and cool conditions, making Mountain Fresh Plus a robust and versatile tomato variety.
