Overview
Nova was bred at the New York Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva from New Yorker x Roma VF and sold by Joseph Harris Co. from 1976. It is an early Italian-style paste tomato on determinate plants, with elongated, pear-shaped red fruit of about 2 ounces, roughly 1 1/4 by 3 inches, thick, meaty and high in solids. The fruit resists cracking and matures in a concentrated flush, handy for canning in one go. Resistance covers alternaria stem canker, verticillium wilt and fusarium wilt race 1. Similar to Red Top.
