Overview
Supersonic is a Joseph Harris F1 hybrid from 1968 valued for crack resistance among large-fruited tomatoes, thanks to thicker skin and firmer flesh. Fruit is large, red, meaty, smooth, and slightly flattened, of classic beefsteak slicing quality. Vines are indeterminate and need sturdy staking or a cage through the season. Resistant to Fusarium race 1 and Verticillium. About 79 days from transplant. It was bred as a Big Boy type and is a sensible choice where alternating wet and dry spells crack softer varieties.
