Growing Momotaro (Tough Boy) Hybrid Slicing Tomato
‘Momotaro’ is a hybrid slicing tomato prized for its exceptional sweet-tart balance and consistently high fruit quality. Smooth, round tomatoes mature to an attractive deep pink and have firm yet juicy flesh that retains excellent flavor after harvest.
Start ‘Momotaro’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants 24 to 36 inches apart, and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety is noted for disease resistance and good crack resistance.
Ready to harvest in about 73 days, pick the uniform 8-ounce fruits once they develop their mature deep pink color.
Balanced, juicy, and refined, ‘Momotaro’ is especially well suited to slicing and fresh eating.
