Skyreacher from Tom Wagner

[Fred Hempel]

Every year I seem to find a new-to-me tomato that really impresses.

This year I found two -- Big Beef and Skyreacher.

Big Beef needs no more cheerleading, because numerous threads at Tomatoville are infected with praise for this variety

Skyreacher, however, has not been widely discussed. Even though it was on the cover of at least one seed catalog this year.

The fruit characteristics of this variety are really good, but on top of that, Skyreacher was spectacularly vigorous and disease resistant in our fields (and very productive).

Great work Tom!
