Growing Information
Growing Rutgers Select Tomato
‘Rutgers Select’ is an heirloom tomato prized for its old-fashioned flavor and generous yields of solid, meaty fruits. Deep red tomatoes preserve the classic qualities that made Rutgers varieties famous while adding improved disease resistance.
Start ‘Rutgers Select’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants 24 to 36 inches apart, and grow in full sun. This strain is noted for good disease resistance.
Ready to harvest in about 75 days, pick fruits once they reach full size and deep red maturity.
Rich, solid, and meaty, ‘Rutgers Select’ is especially well suited to canning.
