Super Fantastic Tomato
Super Fantastic is an upgrade of the old standby Fantastic, which I first
encountered back in the 60's. The Super version is a little larger and supposedly has more disease resistance although it has not been noticable to me. I usually plant one or the other as my standby canning tomato. I outperforms most of the other hybrids of this type. It did a lot better in Virginia than it does in Georgia tho. Several seed ( mail order )retailers have carried it over the years but I do not know which of the seed producers supply it. |

Addendum. Super Fantastic seem to be included in quite a number of test
plantings. This one from Texas A & M was interesting. SF came in second to Merced, but blew away most of the rest of the competition including a yeild almost 6 times that of the old standard OP Rutgers http://agfacts.tamu.edu/D11/Victoria...N/mgtomato.htm dill |

in rec.gardens.edible: This past year we had a hard freeze a full two weeks after the usual safe date of May 10 in SW Virginia. This resulted in my purchase of some plants from our Southern States Supply and I decided to try a variety called Super Fantastic of which I knew nothing. It turned out exceptionally well producing huge crops of disease free fruit of the Better Boy type. I do not see this variety in may catalog lists. Can anyone tell me where it originates and when? You can read about it at: http://agfacts.tamu.edu/D11/Victoria...N/mgtomato.htm where it is compared to several other varieties. One place where seed may be purchased is: http://www.seedcentre.com/storefront/to-super.htm -- Gardening Zones Canada Zone 5a United States Zone 3a Near Ottawa, Ontario |
