As the name suggests, this tomato hails from the state of Arkansas, where it was bred at the University of Arkansas by Joe McFerran of the Horticulture Department. He released the tomato to the public in 1971 under the name “Traveler 76.” It wasn't until later that it gained the name of its home state.
This heirloom variety is prized for very flavorful, medium-sized tomatoes that resist cracking and keep on coming, even in drought and hot weather. Taste is mild, like the pink color of the fruit. Indeterminate vines do best in tall cages.
Type: Indeterminate, Heirloom
Maturity: 75 days
Plant Availability: To Be Announced
Plant Sizes: 4-6 count cell packs, flats (36 to 48 plant count), gallon
This is a variety that we often allow to grow all the way to gallon sized containers because, being indeterminate, they will continue to produce after the first bloom-set until the end of the growing season.
