| 75 days from setting out transplants. Determinate. Health Kick Hybrid is a breakthrough in tomato breeding. Not only does it have much more Lycopene -- a cancer-fighting anti-oxidant -- than any other tomato, it is resistant to spotted wilt virus, which lately has been devastating southern tomato crops. Best of all, these little 4-ounce tomatoes are delicious! Expect high yields from very vigorous, determinate plants 4 1/2 feet tall and about 2 to 3 feet wide. These little plum tomatoes are smooth, grape-shaped, and wonderfully sweet, with a great gel-to-solids ratio and an irresistible look. Even if they weren't powerful cancer fighters, they would be one of the most popular varieties for American gardens today! But with 50 percent more Lycopene than any other Tomato, Health Kick Hybrid is simply too good to pass up. You'll find yourself snacking on the bite-sized treats, as well as slicing them into salads and mashing them for sauce. Versatile and delicious!
