Delicious and Productive without Disease Problems or Cracking
Kanaan combines a full flavor profile, dark red color and high resistance to late blight. Its vigor is well known at my farm as "the tomato that can grow anywhere”. The vines can grow up to 12 ft. or more which always retain their foliage well into fall. This mid season ripening starts in July and goes till frost. The high yields with almost zero cracking and great flavor make this the only cherry tomato with multiple uses including juicing. The dark red fruit is good for fresh eating and does not taste like a normal cherry tomato in many ways. Kind of like a normal tomato but smaller in size! Starts ripening in 70 days from seeding.
Plant 1/4 inch deep after danger of frost. Seedlings will emerge in 4-7 days depending on soil temperature.
