Everything about The Early Girl totally explained
The
Early Girl tomato is a medium globe type
hybrid popular with home gardeners because of its early fruit ripening. Early Girl is an
indeterminate variety, tall growing and needs support as the plant grows. Fruit maturity claims range from 50 to 62 days from transplanting, which appeals to growers in climates with shorter frost-free seasons. (However, the plants of this variety are not particularly cold-tolerant.) Plants are reliable and prolific.
The ripe fruit is about the size and shape of a tennis ball -- very much a standard tomato -- and weighs 4 to 8 ounces (~130g). It has a bright color and good flavor, but is usually replaced at the table by later-producing varieties which are considered better tasting. Better varieties taking roughly the same amount of time as Early Girl include Sasha's Altai and Stupice.
The Early Girl VF hybrid is
verticillium and
fusarium wilt (strain I) resistant. The VFF hybrid is resistant to fusarium wilt strains I & II. An OP version has also been bred, although it isn't widely available.
