Overview
Mountain Merit F1, marketed by Bejo Seeds, is a bushy slicing tomato that won an AAS Heartland award in 2014. Fruit is round, three to three and a half inches, 10 to 12 ounces, dark red inside and out, with a good mild flavor; about 45 per plant. The plant grows four to five feet and needs staking. Its main selling point is disease resistance: Fusarium races 1, 2, and 3, Verticillium, tomato spotted wilt virus, and late blight, with moderate protection against nematodes and early blight. Sow seed six to seven weeks before planting out, pot seedlings on at two inches tall, and space plants two feet apart. Around 75 days from transplant.
