Growing Jolene Hybrid Beefsteak Tomato
‘Jolene’ is a hybrid slicing tomato bred for dependable performance in hot, humid climates. Smooth 8- to 10-ounce fruits offer classic tomato flavor with a pleasing balance of sweetness and acidity, while meaty flesh and crack-resistant skin provide excellent quality.
