Default Polaris tomato

Can you tell me if Polaris tomato will grow in the deep south or will it be just a north tomato? Thanks for any info.

Bred in Canada but adaptable big tough midseason potato leaf beefsteak. It’s been grown all over now but you cant really know what it would do in your specific area until you trial it.
I’d be interested in hearing about it if you grow it.

Bene seeds will have it, I will, several other options by fall if you check with me then. I think you would enjoy the flavour. It’s really delicious

Polaris does well for me in South Carolina and is one of my all time favorites!! I have grown several of Karen's tomatoes, and they all do well for me! Can't wait to keep trying til I have them all. :-)

Polaris does well here in hot and humid Tulsa, Oklahoma. It's one of my favorites.
