Arkansas Traveler Tomato ***CROP FAILURE 2021***

Originating before 1900 in the Ozark Mountains, Arkansas Traveler is prized for very flavorful, medium-sized tomatoes that resist cracking and keep on coming, even in drought and hot weather. Taste is mild, deep pink when ripe. The round 6-8 oz. tomato is popular in its home state and beyond. Disease-resistant, indeterminate vines.

Pollination occurs by insect, bird, wind, humans, or other natural mechanisms. Because there are no restrictions on the flow of pollen between individuals, open-pollinated plants are more genetically diverse. However, as long as pollen is not shared between different varieties within the same species, then the seed produced will remain true-to-type year after year.

This variety has a history of being passed down within a family or community, similar to the generational sharing of certain items like jewelry or furniture.

Indeterminates produce plants as large as you will allow them to grow. They have many widely spaced branches, numerous suckers, and produce tomatoes all season long. These are the varieties that can be manipulated in all sorts of fashion to make the plants conform to your needs.
