Tomato Seeds - Determinate - Floradade Tomato Standard
Description
The Floradade Tomato is a dependable, heat-tolerant determinate variety bred for superior performance in hot, humid, and challenging growing conditions. Maturing in about 80 days, it produces heavy yields of 6–8 ounce smooth, deep red fruits with firm, crack-resistant skin and classic tomato flavor.
Fruits are well-balanced in sweetness and acidity, offering a true old-fashioned tomato taste with exceptional texture for slicing, canning, or fresh market sales. Unlike many heat-resistant types, Floradade maintains excellent flavor even in the height of summer, making it a favorite among southern and subtropical growers.
Plants are robust and compact, typically reaching 4–5 feet tall, with strong stems and good leaf coverage to protect fruit from sunscald. Highly disease-resistant, it performs well against Fusarium Wilt (races 1 and 2), Verticillium Wilt, and Gray Leaf Spot, ensuring steady, high-quality harvests.
Developed at the University of Florida in the 1970s, the Floradade Tomato was specifically bred for Florida’s demanding climate but has since become a standard for heat and disease tolerance across the South and Southwest. A true workhorse variety, Floradade delivers reliable yields, strong flavor, and resilience season after season.
