Overview
New Yorker is an open-pollinated tomato from the Geneva experiment station in New York, released through Joseph Harris Co. in 1966 with Fireball in its parentage. It is extremely early, around 55 to 65 days, and ripens its medium-sized round red fruit (4 to 6 ounces) in a concentrated flush with uniform color. Determinate plants need only a cage. Resistance to Verticillium wilt and to late blight race 0 is bred in, and it was designed for the short seasons of the Northeast.
