Tomato Seeds - Indeterminate - Arkansas Traveler Slicing
Description
Developed by the University of Arkansas and released in 1968, the Arkansas Traveler Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a classic Southern heirloom bred to endure high heat and humidity without sacrificing flavor. Its reputation for dependability, resilience, and rich taste has made it a staple among gardeners across the Southeast and beyond.
Fruits are 6–8 ounces, round to slightly oblate, with smooth rose-pink skin and firm, juicy flesh. Flavor is well-balanced—mild yet complex, with a gentle sweetness and low acidity that make it equally suited for fresh slicing and light cooking. Unlike many modern hybrids, Arkansas Traveler maintains crack resistance and consistent fruiting even under stress, thriving where summer temperatures climb and rainfall fluctuates.
Plants are indeterminate, vigorous, and productive over a long season, typically reaching 5–6 feet tall. Fruits ripen in about 80–85 days from transplant and continue setting through heat waves that often stop other varieties.
Ideal for fresh eating, sandwiches, and salads, yet versatile enough for canning or roasting, this variety offers both reliability and old-fashioned tomato flavor. For growers in warm or humid climates, the Arkansas Traveler remains one of the most trusted open-pollinated slicers ever bred in America—smooth, hardy, and flavorful from first harvest to frost.
