Park SeedSparky XSL F1 Tomato Seeds, Pack of 10 Seeds

• All-America Selections (AAS) Winner 2019 Sparky XSL, an F1 hybrid cherry tomato, is a fruit vegetable. Early maturing and heavy fruiting, the plant sets small "perfect" flowers followed by 1-inch round fruits weighing about 1 ounce. The fruit has unique coloring: red with yellow stripes. The color is clean and bright and clear, making a beautiful plate presentation. The flavor is very sweet, having an average Brix score of 8.5. Tomatoes are considered a superfood for their nutrient rich content, having a high (top 20) Aggregate Nutrient Density Index score (ANDI), or micronutrient-per-calorie density. Tomatoes are a good source of vitamin C and provide vitamin A and potassium. They also contain carotenoid lycopene and beta-carotene as well as phenolic acids and flavonoids. A vigorous, multi-cluster, indeterminate variety, often called a "vining" tomato, Sparky XSL requires staking or caging for support. Blossoms and fruit continue to develop as the vine grows, so, it bears an impressive amount of fruit over the course of a season, typically 100+ cherry tomatoes per plant. This variety is a good option for a farmers market crop. Tomato is easy to grow from seed, growing best in sunny locations with moist, humusy, fertile, deep loams. Sparky XSL has excellent tolerances to abiotic (heat and harsh growing conditions) stresses.
