Slicer Tomato 'Phoenix'
Pre-order for local pick-up available as early as April 15.
This is my all-time favorite tomato! ‘Phoenix’ is a determinate slicer tomato that sets large, globe-like fruit.
In past, I have grown two other equivalent varieties, ‘Celebrity’ and ‘Dixie Red.’ While both are excellent, ‘Phoenix’ is the best of both worlds. And, when you find the best, why dilly dally with others?
It has the upper hand on ‘Celebrity’ in its heat tolerance and the excellent flavor of ‘Celebrity.’ It is also crack resistant and extremely consistent in fruit set and size through the toughest months in Kansas.
Height: ~4’
Fruit Size: 10-12 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.
