Question about fruit ripening duration

[Rfdillon]

Folks, among others, I have flowers on the following tomato plants:
Cherokee Purple, Early Girl, Texas Wild, and Brandywine tomatoes. About how long will it take for me to have ripened fruit?

If it goes well so for DTM (days to maturity), which is indicated for the variety

It can be different for different varieties which is why most folks classify them as to early, midseason and late ones. and one scheme for that might look like this:

55 to 65 days, early
65 to 80, early to mid season
over 80 days, late season

And that's time from putting out plants to ripe fruit.

A general timeline for one variety was up up by Paul, using a large beefsteak variety, I forget the name right now, with pictures, that might help in a general way.

Here's the link to a previous discussion about Paul's link:

And you can see that accessing it depended on the browser used. My browser has been AOL since the mid-80's and I had no trouble opening it all those years ago when Paul put it up and most recently as well.

Hope that helps,

Easy if they set early to mid late june.
if you are lucky you may get some from what ever texas wild is and early girl in late May.

You picked relatively late bloomers, but sometimes there is a tradeoff with taste and earliness in beefsteak varieties.

I have had Cherokee Purple in around 65 days and even Brandywine doesn't take much longer in the southern heat. I'm not familiar with the others.

Carolyn's link opened another TV thread.

I remember seeing that pictorial timeline.
As I recall it was 54 days from bud getting ready, to vine ripe beef steak.
So probably a cherry type will take like 40 days and bigger beef steaks might take 65 days(Bud to ripe fruit)
I use it as a ball park number. In my climate it will take longer than that.

For me it takes forever.
