Description

The uniform, smooth-skinned fruit are medium in size averaging 113-170gram (4-6 oz.). Fruits are juicy with a classic taste and a sweet bite. This is a medium-early, main-season tomato Originally bred for greenhouses, it can be successfully grown in any garden. Though Moneymaker plants do prefer high heat, the plants are amazingly adaptable and will set fruit freely in any weather. Best controlled by staking and pruning. Just like its name suggests, the Moneymaker tomato has been a popular high-yielding cash crop for commercial growers for over a century.

Indeterminate (vine). Days to Maturity: 75-80.

SOWING AND GROWING: Plant 2-3 seeds 1/4″ deep per cell in fertile, humusy, and well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0-6.8. Money Maker seeds germinate in 5-14 days, transplant best starts to 1 per pot or 24-36 inches apart in the garden.

Before sowing, know whether the seed is determinate or indeterminate, as each will exhibit different habits. Determinate varieties mature to a predetermined size, producing their fruit all at once with only a minor need for staking. Indeterminate varieties grow indefinitely through the season, producing non-stop fruit while requiring heavy support. Money Maker is an indeterminate tomato crop.

HARVESTING: Tomatoes can just as easily be harvested early and ripened indoors by being stored in a paper bag or box along with a banana for its ethylene gas. Ripest tomatoes may be pulled from the vine by hand, while more firm ones should be clipped with shears.
