Growing Mountain Merit™ Hybrid Slicing VFFFNTswvEbLb Tomato

Mountain Merit™ Hybrid Slicing Tomato Seeds set the gold standard for garden performance, combining outstanding flavor with one of the most comprehensive disease resistance packages of any tomato. Winner of the 2014 All-America Selections award, this variety was recognized not only for its strength but also for its all-around excellence in the garden and kitchen. The deep red fruits are smooth, slightly oblate, and uniform, with firm, juicy flesh that’s perfect for sandwiches and slicing. Despite its tough genetic defense, Mountain Merit still offers the classic sweet-acid balance that makes homegrown tomatoes so beloved.

Maturing in about 75 days, this determinate variety produces heavy clusters of 10–12 ounce fruits on compact, sturdy plants that grow 3–4 feet tall. The vines are easy to manage, with strong foliage that protects the fruit from sunscald and cracking. This hybrid carries high resistance to Verticillium Wilt, Fusarium Wilt (Races 1, 2, and 3), Nematodes, Tobacco Mosaic Virus, Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus, and Late Blight, as well as intermediate resistance to Early Blight—giving gardeners unmatched peace of mind and consistent, healthy harvests all season long.

Mountain Merit™ Hybrid Slicing Tomato Seeds are perfect for growers who demand both flavor and durability. Whether you’re planting in the backyard or running a market garden, this variety offers exceptional reliability, quality, and taste—proof that disease resistance and delicious flavor can truly go hand in hand.

Not resistant to blight as advertised

I ordered Mountain Merit specifically because its description in the catalog says it's one of the tomatoes most resistant to blight. I have now seen two in my garden (Norfolk, VA) shrivel up with early blight. Both plants were 4'+ tall and have around 20 unripe tomatoes on each. Going to pull them up this week.
I'm going to plant 3 more Merits to replace the diseased ones. We'll see if a later planting date makes any difference.

Tomato failure

Hi, I received from you folks a packet of Mountain Merit seeds and a packet of Inca Marigold seeds. Their germination percentage was very low. I got one each to germinate of these. I even had them on a germination mat.
I would like an explanation of this failure and a refund.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Wayne Dosch
