Overview
Heatwave II (Heat Wave II) is a determinate hybrid whose claim to fame is setting fruit when daytime highs pass 90 to 95 F, temperatures that make most tomatoes drop their flowers. Fruits are red, round and 6 to 7 ounces with firm flesh and decent fresh flavor, ready around 68 days from transplant. In hot regions it extends the harvest into summer months when other varieties quit. The bushy plants need only a cage.
