Husky Red Hybrid Tomato Seed Growth Habits:

With a dwarf indeterminate growth habit, Husky Red tomato seeds grow very well in containers, raised beds, greenhouses, and gardens with limited space. They grow staked or caged without pinching.

Bearing red 7- to 8-oz. fruit that matures after 78 days, the compact, upright Husky Red tomato plant will continue to produce fruit until the first frost.

Husky Red hybrid tomato seeds should be started indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last frost date. They can then be transplanted into an area with full sun and slightly acidic soil to achieve the best results.

Resistant to Alternaria stem canker and gray leaf spot.

Related to potato, pepper, eggplant, and tobacco plants, tomato plants are a member of the nightshade (Solanaceae) family. Avoid growing tomatoes where another member of the Solanaceae family was recently grown, as they can be susceptible to some of the same diseases.

To keep Husky Red tomatoes fresh and flavorful, keep them out of the refrigerator. Instead, store them in a shaded area at room temperature.

Tomato plants are native to the tropical regions of Central and South America, which means they will thrive in warm, sunny conditions with evenly moist soil. A consistent watering schedule can even help prevent some common tomato issues, including blossom end rot and cracking.
