Overview
Marmara is an F1 hybrid in the Marmande style, the ribbed, flattened French slicer. Fruit is oblate, 3 to 4 inches across and 5 to 6 ounces, red with smooth ridges and green shoulders. Plants are indeterminate and need staking, and the first harvest comes in about 75 to 80 days. It carries tolerance to tomato mosaic virus, Fusarium wilt race 1, and Verticillium wilt race 1. Pick it if you want the look and flavor of a Marmande with a bit more disease insurance than the open-pollinated originals.
