About Florida Basket
‘Florida Basket’ was created by J.J.Augustine, B.K.Harbaugh, and J.P.Crill in the Agricultural Research and Education Center IFAS, University of Florida, Bradenton, as a part of the tomato improvement program of the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences in 1980. Introduced commercially in early 1981.
Prostrate dwarf-type plants with regular leaf foliage produce small, 1” red fruits. Firm flesh is well balanced and has a pleasant taste. Early, about 56 days from transplanting and 85 days from a seedling. Resistant to gray leaf spot. Excellent for growing in hanging baskets.
