Growing ‘Amelia’ Tomatoes in Alabama
Transplant after frost danger has passed into fertile, well-drained soil with full sun. Aim for consistent moisture, mulch to moderate soil temperature, and support the plants with sturdy cages or stakes. Even determinate tomatoes benefit from support when carrying a heavy crop. Keep foliage as dry as practical and provide airflow to help reduce disease pressure in humid weather.
Plant habit: Determinate, about 36–48 inches tall. Fruit: Approximately 8–10 ounces. Maturity: About 75 days from transplanting under suitable conditions. The original cultivar information lists resistance or tolerance to Verticillium wilt, Fusarium wilt races 1 and 2, gray leaf spot (Stemphylium), tobacco mosaic virus, and tomato spotted wilt virus; resistance does not mean immunity.
