ARKANSAS TRAVELER, USA. Tall, mid-season, and high-yielding tomato variety originating from the southern U.S. state of Arkansas. Known for its consistent productivity and excellent adaptability to a wide range of climate conditions, including drought, high humidity, and sharp temperature swings. Shows strong resistance to cracking, late blight, and other common tomato diseases. Its striking appearance makes it a our favorite.
This variety thrives in all weather conditions, even during hot summers when other tomatoes often underperform. That makes it a great choice for both beginner and experienced growers. Plant height in open ground reaches up to 1.5 m. and requires staking and pruning for optimal fruiting. The fruits are round, firm, with a smooth skin, ripen evenly, and maintain good marketable appearance for a long time. Perfect for fresh salads and canning.
VARIETY HIGHLIGHTS
Originally developed before 1900 in the Ozark Mountains, where heat resistance and hardiness were essential traits. Produces reliably even in the hottest and driest months. Fruits weigh between 100 and 300 grams, with a rich aroma, pleasant texture, and signature pink-red color. An ideal variety for commercial production.
The flavor features an excellent balance of acidity and sugars, giving it a rich and harmonious taste. The flesh is slightly sweet and even more flavorful when lightly salted, highlighting its natural sweetness. The firm skin and dense texture allow for easy transportation and good shelf life.
