Overview
Abraham Lincoln, also sold as Early Abraham Lincoln, is an American heirloom from 1923 with medium-sized, deep red, meaty fruit and a rich, well-balanced flavor. It is unusual among old varieties for its resistance to foliage diseases, which helped it stay in catalogs for decades. The vigorous indeterminate vines produce over a long season and need sturdy staking or caging. Water evenly to limit cracking and blossom-end rot, and harvest when fully colored. Maturity is around 70 days from transplant.
