Plant Features

Husky Red tomatoes are garden space-savers, prized for their flavorful fruits in a compact package. This hybrid variety produces bright red tomatoes weighing 6 to 8 ounces, with smooth, firm skin—perfect for slicing into salads, sandwiches, or fresh eating. The flesh is juicy and solid, delivering a classic tomato flavor with a touch of sweetness.

Why pick Husky Red? This indeterminate dwarf plant grows to 3–4 feet with support, yielding a steady crop through the season with resistance to Fusarium, Verticillium, and more. It’s a top choice for gardeners with small spaces wanting reliable, tasty tomatoes in a manageable size.

Grown naturally and pesticide-free, our Husky Red starter plants arrive healthy and ready to perform in your garden. Nurtured for success, they deliver a consistent harvest of these quality tomatoes.

Not a husky cherry tomato

Plant was healthy as always. I have grown husky cherry’s since 2009. This time I decided to try a different method. Well turns out this is not a husky cherry. It looks more the size if a patio tomato or mayne even a better boy. Disappointing but I did enjoy the tomatoes.
