Precocibec tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
This tomato was developed in 1974 by agronomist Roger Doucet at the Saint-Hyacinthe agricultural research station. As its name suggests, it is a very early variety perfectly adapted to our northern climate. It tolerates cool nights down to 4 degrees Celsius. It is a determinate plant so there is no need to prune it. It was originally intended for making tomato paste and caning. Perfect for canning, it is also very pleasant eaten fresh. She is fruity, medium sized and very productive. Ideal for small spaces.
