4" Chef Jeff's 444 TOMATO

In springtime vegetable gardeners start dreaming about tomatoes. And this year Texas tomato gardeners might want to consider Tomato 444. It’s the latest plant to be designated as a Texas Superstar.

Tomato 444 is named Texas Superstar. This hybrid is resistant to many foliage diseases.

“Tomato 444 is one of the few hybrid tomato varieties which has natural plant resistant to tomato spotted wilt virus and the problems it causes,” said Dr. Jerry Parsons, horticulture specialist with Texas Cooperative Extension in San Antonio. “The fruit is large and the quality is excellent. To many people, Tomato 444 tastes better than the ever-popular Celebrity tomato. Tomato 444 definitely produces more fruit than Celebrity.”
