New Yorker tomatoes were developed in 1966 by Dr. Robinson of the New York Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, NY. This early cold tolerant variety yields some of the first fruits in your garden. The plants produce large crops of smooth, meaty, 3-7 oz. scarlet globes that have a balanced sweet and acidic flavor. New Yorker will set fruit in cool, short-season conditions without cracking or suffering from blossom end rot. Perfect for canning, salads or sandwiches!
