Précocibec (Precocibec)
73 days, determinate — It is an early producer with good yields of medium-sized red fruit. Tolerant of cool spring nights. These are desirable traits for those of us in Northern climates. In our 2008 grow out, 'Précocibec' was our best producer. Very early, heavy yields. It is a good choice for home food production as a canning tomato.

★★★★☆ An early producer when nights are still cool

I grew these last spring in large fabric grow bags outdoors. NE Texas, 8a. Started the seeds indoors in mid-January; transplanted outside in early March, using "wall-of-water" insulating teepees. The plants grew strong and set early fruit. By late May, was loaded with fruit. Most tomatoes were about 8 ounces when mature. The only growing negative was that the bushes were short and spread out, making it very difficult to keep the tomatoes off the ground as they developed and ripened. Flavor was satisfactory, but not great.
