Overview
Tasti-Lee (VFFF hybrid) came out of the University of Florida program under Dr. Jay Scott, aimed at combining flavor and nutrition rather than only shipping durability. The main-season plants produce large, round red fruit with a lycopene level reported to be higher than most reds, which gives the skin a slightly orange-red cast. Its resistance package (Fusarium, Verticillium, root-knot nematodes) suits Gulf South conditions. The catalog lists it as determinate at about 75 days, though other sources describe it as indeterminate; either way, stake or cage. Start seed indoors and transplant after frost. Harvest when evenly red-orange with slight give.
