Notes

'BHN 871' 871 tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'BHN 871') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It gives high yields of attractive golden-orange tomatoes, and bees visit the flowers. It sits low on the menu for rabbits.

Pairs well with Katrina cucumber, Dukat dill, and Santo cilantro.
