Tomato 'Mandarin Cross'

Wonderful variety from Japan producing 6-10 oz., orange, round fruit with sweet flavors. Their meaty interiors have few seeds. This mid-season tomato is among the best for flavor and texture. Harvest in 75 days from transplanting.

Plant in full sun in soil that has been amended with compost and a good organic vegetable fertilizer that is not too high in nitrogen. Support these heavily bearing plants with a sturdy tomato cage. Multiple plants need at least 3 ft. between them.

Harvest when fruit are bright orange and slightly soft to the touch. This tomato has an excellent taste, with a nice balance of acidic and sweet. It is excellent eaten fresh in salads and can also be use to make a great bright orange pasta sauce.
