Overview
Ramapo is a hybrid slicing tomato bred in 1968 at Rutgers (the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station) that became a local favorite for full-bodied, old-fashioned flavor, then disappeared from catalogs for decades until Rutgers brought it back under a program called Rediscover the Jersey Tomato. It pairs heirloom-style sweet-tart depth with hybrid reliability, bearing medium to large oblate red fruit over a long summer on vigorous indeterminate vines. Expect fruit in roughly 75 to 85 days; resistance is listed for Verticillium and Fusarium wilt. Stake or cage, prune lower suckers lightly for airflow in humid weather, and mulch to hold even moisture against cracking and blossom-end rot.
