WANTED: Wanted: Arkansas Traveller Tomato Seeds
Comments (0)These apparently do well in high heat and humidity. Looking forward to another pressure cooker of a summer... Here's my seed trade list (opens new browser window). I'd be willing to do SASE for some of them. Let me know if anything strikes your fancy....See MoreArkansas Traveler plants not producing
Comments (7)Krista, Don't pull those sweet little Arkansas Traveler plants. They are good guys and will be setting fruit in the July and August heat when almost nothing else is. In my garden, they usually are about the last variety to set fruit, but that is okay. I have lots of others for earlier fruit and not that many for late fruit, so I don't mind. I never yank out plants arbitrarily by date because they set fruit until temperatures get hot enough to impede fruitset, and the time that occurs can vary wildly. Some years, I'll get fruitset even in July and August and occasionally, like in 2011, it gets hot enough in May to impede fruitset and then it stays that hot. Remember that DTMs are estimates only. My tomato plants vary wildly with regard to whether or not they produce the ripe fruit about when you would expect them to do so based on the DTMs, so I ignore DTMs for the most part. It isn't anything you are doing. It is the nature of the variety itself. Right now it might seem like the garden space they are occupying is being wasted because they haven't set fruit, but later in the summer, they'll be pulling their share of the load.

Comments (2)It will grow as well as any of the others in your climate. ;) Heat tolerant varieties are just bred to do as their name implies - tolerate the heat and humidity - but that doesn't mean it requires it in anyway. Arkansas Traveler is a great tomato variety, especially if you like the sweeter pinks. It's a regular in our gardens, and not just because we live here. Hope you like it. ;) Dave...See MoreI think I have a mislabeled plant - Arkansas Traveller
Comments (9)Caroline1... I think my plants only fruit until frost because they're not done producing by that time... I'm a zone 5er and don't usually get them in the ground until early June or so... I've tried with Romas, and I like them due to their low acidity, but I never seem to get them above 3' or so and I never seem to get them to give me everything they have... All year I'll only get around 15 or so maters per plant... I just keep trying new stuff and seeing if I can get more......See Moremilehighgirl
