Overview
Orange Wellington is a hybrid beefsteak that brings bright orange color to the slicing bench. Indeterminate plants reach about 5 ft and produce fruit around 12 oz. The disease package is broad: tobacco mosaic virus, Alternaria stem canker, nematodes, and both Fusarium and Verticillium wilts. Harvest begins about 75 days from transplant, or roughly 117 days from seed. Cage or stake, and give the plants even moisture so the big fruit stays smooth. Nice for gardeners who want a milder-looking orange slicer with hybrid reliability.
