Juliet

Described as a sweet, rich tomato flavor good for salads, salsa, and fresh pasta sauce. Flavor is subjective, so treat this as the recurring catalog and grower description rather than a measured fact.

An F1 hybrid grape tomato bred by Known-You Seed and named a 1999 All-America Selections winner for its crack resistance, yield, and early maturity.

• Indeterminate vine. It keeps growing and setting fruit right up to frost, so plan on a tall stake or cage and regular pruning through the season.
• Ripens early, under about 70 days, one of the safer picks where the summer is short.
• Generally forgiving and beginner-friendly to grow.
• Skins resist cracking, even after a heavy rain.
• One of our picks for the cold, short-season gardens of New England.
