Description

The Juliet plum tomato is an award-winning hybrid renowned for its sweet flavor, elongated shape, and exceptional keeping quality. Resembling a miniature Roma, fruits average 2 inches long, with smooth, glossy red skin and firm flesh ideal for fresh eating, roasting, and pasta dishes. The indeterminate vines produce prolific clusters of 12–18 fruits, often continuing well into the first frosts of autumn. Juliet is particularly valued for its crack resistance and versatility, making it a mainstay in both home gardens and small-scale market farms.

Originating from breeding efforts aimed at combining the sweetness of a cherry tomato with the firmness of a paste type, Juliet thrives in full sun and rich, well-drained soil, producing continuously throughout the season. Its resistance to cracking and disease makes it one of the most dependable performers in varied climates, and its fruits store for days without loss of texture—rare for tomatoes of this size.
