Plant Features

Applause tomatoes are garden early birds, delivering uniform, tasty fruits ahead of the pack. This hybrid variety produces bright red tomatoes weighing 6 to 8 ounces, with smooth, firm skin that resists cracking—perfect for slicing into salads, sandwiches, or light sauces. The flesh is juicy yet sturdy, offering a classic tomato flavor with a touch of sweetness.

Why choose Applause? This determinate plant grows to 3–4 feet, producing a concentrated yield through the season with solid disease resistance, including Fusarium and Verticillium Wilt. It’s a top pick for gardeners wanting early, dependable tomatoes that perform well in a compact form.

Grown naturally and pesticide-free, our Applause starter plants arrive healthy and ready to thrive in your garden. Nurtured for success, they ensure a dependable crop of these quality tomatoes.

Amazing the tomato plants survived.
