Ace 55 Tomato Seeds
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. Ace 55 tomato was bred for the market so it resists cracking, bruising and bursting. A perfect farmer's 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.
Ace 55 tomato is resistant to Fusarium Wilt, Verticillium Wilt, and Alternaria Stem Canker.
