Marglobe

This tomato has been around for almost 100 years! The 4-9oz. tomato bears early-mid season with good production. For many it is a favorite canning and juice tomato. Another plus, it is disease resistant, specifically fusarium wilt and "nail head rust".

Story:

Marglobe  was credited with nearly single-handedly saving the Florida tomato industry in the early part of the 20th Century. Marglobe is also historically significant in that it was a parent of many other later tomato varieties.
