Slicer Tomato 'Dixie Red'
I love ‘Phoenix’ in this area, but it’s always good to check out new genetics. Last year, I added the determinate ‘Dixie Red’ and was not disappointed. We’re going to give it another go! Dixie has the ability to set fruit in higher heat and has excellent disease resistance.
Height: 4’
Fruit Size: 9-11 oz.
A Note from the Grower
This is what Kansas gardening is all about—the slicer! In my slicer catalog, you’ll find some old-time favorites and some new favorites of mine. A couple things all these tomato varieties have in common is that they are flavorful and adapted well to our climate. Like the other plants I have grown, all of my tomato slicer varieties were selected intentionally to make your gardening experience excellent.
In my catalog, slicers typically range in size from 6 oz. to 10 oz. (that’s what I classify as a classic slicer) and have a round shape. My selections vary in levels of acidity; and, there are several indeterminate and determinate growth habits in my catalog. That way, you can choose what growth habit you prefer. Head over to the Plant Guide to learn more about tomatoes.
