Overview
Daybreak is an early hybrid from Petoseed (1991) with bright red, round, firm fruit of about 4 ounces and green shoulders. One listing calls the plant indeterminate while the registration describes a determinate habit, so cage it either way. Beyond the usual Verticillium race 1 and Fusarium races 1 and 2, it carries resistance to nematodes, tobacco mosaic virus, and gray leaf spot, and it is noted for tolerating cold. A useful early slicer for northern gardens with soil disease problems.
