Overview
Iron Lady is an F1 slicing tomato released in 2013 by Cornell University with North Carolina State University, aimed at gardeners battling foliar disease. It resists late blight, early blight, Septoria leaf spot, and Fusarium wilt races 1 and 2, a combination rarely found together in a slicer. Fruit is red, about 5 ounces and 3 to 4 inches across, on plants described as determinate in the seed listing (some secondary sources call it indeterminate; either way, cage it). Maturity is about 75 days. Choose it where humid summers wipe out unprotected tomatoes before the crop is in.
