Somma F1

Early-maturing (harvesting can begin as early as the 90th day) hybrid tomato for whole-fruit canning. Fruits are round, 10–15 g, and set well under various weather conditions. Ripening is very uniform, with about 80% of the harvest ready for picking within the first two weeks after ripening begins. Fruits are bright red and look excellent in canned form. Bunches are very attractive, allowing for harvesting in bunches for fresh market sale. Plant is vigorous but well-ventilated. Resistant to stress conditions, Verticillium wilt, TMV, and bacterial spot. Despite the small fruit size, it does not lag behind larger-fruited hybrids in yield (up to 70–90 t/ha).
