Ace 55 (75 days)

Ace is a vigorous med-large determinate tomato plant that produces red, thick-walled tomatoes.  Fruits are 5-6" in diameter and weigh about 7 oz.  This tomato was bred for the market so it resists cracking, bruising and bursting.  A perfect farmers market tomato. 

A nice tomato for those who don't like the acidic taste of tomatoes like myself.  I still get that sweet tomato taste without the acidic flavor.  This however makes Ace 55 a poor choice for canning.  If you can this tomato you will need to pressure cook it due to the low acid content.
