Medium sized red open pollinated tomato on determinate plants.
Description
Latah is one of the regular/small early tomatoes that grow on semi-determinate plants. This means that the plant doesn’t actually grow very tall and is usually quite sprawling and is best grown with a number of cordons rather than trying to grow it as a single cordon.
It was bred at the University of Idaho, Moscow, Latah County, Idaho (which leads to confusion) theoretically by a Dr Boe. However, my searches for them can’t find any such person or dates as to when the tomato may have been developed.
We grew this cultivar in 2014, the fruit were variable in size but early and tasty.
