  • Year Round Gardening Tomatoes: Hybrid Or Heirloom Debra Stinton Othitis, Colorado Master Gardener
    Year Round Gardening Tomatoes: Hybrid or Heirloom Debra Stinton Othitis, Colorado Master Gardener Some gardeners know what characteristics they prefer in a tomato and grow the same variety every year. Others browse through garden centers or seed catalogs and adventurously select new varieties. If you are the latter, one of your decisions will be to choose between hybrids or heirlooms. Heirlooms tomato plants are generally known to produce better tasting fruit; however, they may be more prone to disease and thus require more maintenance. Heirlooms breed true which means the same characteristics are passed on from generation to generation. You can save the seeds from your heirloom Brandywine tomato each year without having to buy new seeds. Each time you Photo courtesy of Debra Othitis plant those seeds, you will get a Brandywine tomato. Nearly all heirloom tomato cultivars have an indeterminate habit of growth which means they continue to grow during the season and fruit production is spread over a longer period of time. Growing heirloom varieties helps preserve the genetic diversity of plants and contributes to the overall health and biodiversity of our planet. Hybrid tomato varieties result from the crossing of two genetically distinct parents. Commercially hybridized seeds are created to breed desired traits like flavor, texture, pH, size, days to harvest, or disease resistance. Hybrid tomatoes can be either indeterminate or determinate. Fruit production on determinate plants yields a concentrated harvest in a small window of time. This is ideal for those who are planning on preserving sauce or juice. Determinate varieties are ideal for patio containers.
