Overview
Jet Star (also Jetstar F1) is a Joseph Harris hybrid from 1969 that stays popular for its mild, low-acid flavor. The fruit is bright red, smooth, globe-shaped, and seven to eight ounces, with few scars or cracks, thick walls, and few seeds, which makes clean slices for sandwiches. Plants are compact indeterminates that still need a stake or cage and bear over a long season. Resistant to Fusarium race 1 and Verticillium and tolerant of cracking. Ripe fruit at about 72 days from transplant. A good pick for anyone who finds standard tomatoes too sharp.
