Description

Solanum lycopersicum
Annual

Rutgers Tomato, scientifically known as Solanum lycopersicum, is a classic jersey vine-ripe tomato variety renowned for its medium-sized, red fruits and rich, tomatoey flavor, making it ideal for slicing and canning. It produces round, uniform tomatoes with smooth skin and juicy flesh, perfect for adding to sandwiches, salads, and sauces. They make good container varieties as they don’t grow too big or vine too much.

Plant Spacing: 18-24 inches

Sun Preference: Full sun

Companion Plants: Rutgers Tomato pairs well with basil, parsley, and marigolds, and intercropping with onions and garlic may help deter pests.

Common Pests: Aphids, hornworms, and whiteflies may occasionally affect Rutgers Tomato, but regular inspections can prevent infestations.

Growing Information: Plant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date, spacing them 18-24 inches apart. Provide support for the vines, such as stakes or cages, and harvest fruits when fully ripe for the best flavor.
