Overview
Talladega is a determinate beefsteak hybrid bred for the hot, humid South, where it sets fruit in heat and keeps clean foliage under heavy disease pressure. Fruits are deep red globes of 8 ounces or more with dense flesh, slightly ribbed shoulders, good shelf life and crack resistance. Resistance covers Fusarium wilt, Verticillium wilt, tomato spotted wilt virus and tobacco mosaic virus. Maturity is early to midseason, about 60 to 67 days, and the concentrated crop is easy to time for canning. Cage or stake the plants.
