Allred Tomato
Price: $4.45
SKU: 34031421'Allred', originally known as 'N.D. 216-23', was introduced by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station, Fargo, in 1937.[1] It is similar to 'Bison' in plant growth habit and fruit appearance, except that it has uniform fruit color without green stem spot. It is also reportedly heat resistant.[2] Believed to be the first commercial cultivar with uniform color.[1]
One parent of 'Allred' was 'Bison' and subsequently, 'Allred' was a parent of 'Sioux'. Our seed originated as USDA Accession Number PI 633453, which was originally donated as accession NSSL 5787 into the USDA's collection in 1961.
Brand new limited release for 2024.
Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.
Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.
