- ‘Louisiana AllSeason’
Louisiana AllSeason was developed by Julian C. Miller and released in 1950.This variety is a cross between Louisiana Pink and Break O’ Day. It was trialed out for 16 years before its release and consistently yielded high among other planted varieties of the time at both the Baton Rouge and Calhoun stations. Miller describes Louisiana Allseason as being ideal for spring and fall gardens due to its early production and high heat tolerance. It is very productive from the spring planting, with a more than satisfactory yield in the late summer and fall when compared to other late varieties. Louisiana Allseason produces medium to large, round to somewhat globe shaped tomatoes at first set, and medium globe tomatoes at second set. 80 days to maturity. Seeds for Louisiana Allseason were acquired from GRIN (PI 30375668UISD) in 2021 and grown out for seed increase in 2022 and 2023 at the Northeast Research Station and at sites in Ouachita, Tensas and East Carroll Parishes. Through evaluation, Louisiana Allseason was observed to have high productivity, strong plant vigor, disease resistance, and heat tolerance. As Miller described, this variety produced nicely under the heat of mid- late summer. Louisiana Allseason would make a perfect spring or fall tomato for Louisiana home gardens.
