Description

Early Wonder Tomato is a fast-maturing slicing tomato variety known for its reliable yields, smooth round fruits, and classic garden tomato flavor. The fruits ripen to a rich red with juicy flesh and a balanced sweet-tart taste, making them excellent for fresh eating, sandwiches, salads, and light cooking.

This productive variety is especially valued for its early harvest window, producing ripe tomatoes sooner than many standard slicing types. Plants are compact and set most of their fruit over a shorter period, making it a dependable choice for gardeners who want an early, concentrated harvest.

• Type: Annual tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
• Growth habit: Determinate
• Start indoors: 6–8 weeks before last frost
• Transplant: After all danger of frost has passed
• Sun: Full sun
• Spacing: 24–36 inches
• Days to maturity: 55–65 days

Tomatoes grow best in warm, fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture and strong sunlight. Determinate varieties like this produce their crop in a more concentrated window, making them especially useful for canning or large harvests at once. Light staking or cages may still be used to support fruit load, and mulching helps conserve moisture and reduce soil-borne disease.
