Unit price perSolanum lycopersicum
Break O' Day is an early-cropping tomato producing smooth, round, deep red fruits of medium size. The thin-skinned fruits have excellent flavour while remaining firm enough for handling and transport, a combination that made the variety valuable to both home and commercial growers.
Introduced commercially in 1932, Break O' Day became an established Australian variety valued for its dependable cropping across a wide range of growing conditions. Similar in appearance and eating quality to Grosse Lisse, it crops earlier and was once widely grown for the fresh market.
A vigorous indeterminate variety, plants continue flowering and producing throughout the season. Its combination of early maturity, good flavour, reliable yields and shipping quality makes it a particularly useful old commercial tomato.
Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram.
Approximately 40 seeds per packet.
