Amelia,
a new hybrid tomato variety, made an exclusive and short-term appearance
at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo earlier this year. Amelia
is a new release from Harris Moran Seed Company. The “buxom”
hybrid is the result of two years of work. It is naturally resistant
to Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV), and will normally yield three-and-a-half
inch fruit.
According to Dr. Jerry Parsons, Professor and Horticulture Specialist
with Texas Cooperative Extension, “Amelia produces some of
the largest fruit we’ve seen.” Parsons speculates that
the size of Amelia’s fruit may be too large for commercial
production, but believes it should be “perfect for the home
garden.”!
