Plant Features

Jet Star tomatoes are garden standouts, prized for their large, juicy fruits that deliver classic tomato goodness. This hybrid variety yields bright red tomatoes typically weighing 8 to 10 ounces, with smooth, firm skin that resists cracking—perfect for slicing into sandwiches, salads, or fresh eating. The flesh is meaty and flavorful, offering a balanced, mildly sweet tomato taste with low acidity.

Why grow Jet Star? This indeterminate plant produces a steady, high yield through the season, known for its vigorous growth and disease resistance, including Fusarium and Verticillium Wilt. It’s a top choice for gardeners seeking reliable, tasty tomatoes that thrive until frost, combining productivity with excellent quality.

Grown naturally and pesticide-free, our Jet Star starter plants arrive healthy and ready to thrive in your garden. Nurtured with care, they ensure a bountiful harvest of these dependable, delicious tomatoes.

Hard to Find!

The Jet Star tomatoes are hard to find as plants. We love them because of the low acidity. The plants were packaged well and looked great upon arrival.

Awesome

This is the best tomatoes I have ever bought. I planted them and about 1/2 way time to harvest I got coronavirus. I was hospitalized and unable to take care of the tomatoes. When I get out of the hospital I went to see my tomatoes they had fruited and they were healthy. I highly recommend them.
