Traveler 76 Tomato was released by the University of Arkansas in 1976 and is a perfect market variety for growers in hot areas. The fruit are deep pink, uniform, medium-sized, and have a well-balanced flavor. They are crack, heat, and drought resistant and save really well after being harvested. Traveler 76 is an awesome heirloom tomato that has that old time tomato flavor!

Planting Instructions – Start tomato seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost date. Do not plant out until 2 weeks after last frost. Tomato seeds require high soil temperatures for good germination rates. We highly recommend heat mats to ensure and speed up germination. Pot up to 3–4 inch pots when first true leaves develop (not cotyledon leaves). Harden off plants for 1-2 weeks in full sun before transplanting them outside (after last frost). Make sure to give tomato plants a lot of space for vigorous root and foliage growth.
