Overview
Marglobe came out of a 1917 USDA cross of Marvel and Globe at the Arlington, Virginia station, was introduced in 1925, and won the first All-America Selections gold medal. Bred against Fusarium wilt and nailhead rust, it became the first disease-resistant tomato to succeed on a wide scale, and through much of the twentieth century it was the default American garden and market tomato. The fruit is smooth, bright red and globe-shaped, about 4 to 10 ounces (commonly 6 to 8), with firm, crack-resistant skin and classic flavor. Vines are semi-determinate with dense foliage, productive over a long season; stake early. Resistance to Fusarium and Verticillium wilt is listed and maturity is about 75 days. Marglobe Supreme is a later improved selection.
