New Yorker Tomato

New Yorker is an early determinate heirloom tomato developed for cooler climates and short seasons. Compact, sturdy plants produce round, medium 4 to 6 ounce red fruits with a classic, slightly tangy, well-balanced flavor. Maturing in about 65 days, it is ideal for northern gardeners and unpredictable weather, with good disease resistance.
