Seasons/Availability
Hydroponic Japanese tomatoes are available year-round.

Current Facts
This crack-resistant tomato grows on prolific plants that are able to withstand heat; thus the other name for this hardy variety is "Tough Boy", named in honor of a favorite Japanese folk character. Because the farming area is enclosed and wind is not an option for pollination, Beylik Family Farms uses the help of bumblebees for pollination purposes. Bumblebees are less aggressive, less territorial, only bite instead of sting and do not produce honey like common bees. The bees are responsible for eight to ten thousand plants with about twenty thousand flowers.

Applications
This tomato does not need any unnecessary embellishments. Eat it raw, in a salad or make a puree or fresh sauce from the flesh.
