Early Girl Plus Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum ‘Early Girl Plus’)

Early Girl Plus Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum ‘Early Girl Plus’) is an improved version of the classic Early Girl tomato, prized for its exceptionally early harvests, abundant yields, and excellent disease resistance. This vigorous indeterminate variety produces smooth, bright red slicing tomatoes with a rich, balanced tomato flavour that is perfect for sandwiches, salads, burgers, fresh snacking, roasting, and homemade sauces.

The medium-sized fruits typically weigh 170–225 g (6–8 oz) and mature earlier than many other slicing tomatoes, making Early Girl Plus an excellent choice for regions with shorter growing seasons, including Alberta. Its improved disease package helps maintain healthy plants and dependable production throughout the season, while the firm, crack-resistant fruits offer excellent quality and shelf life.

As an indeterminate variety, Early Girl Plus continues flowering and producing tomatoes from early summer until the first autumn frost. The vigorous vines benefit from sturdy cages, stakes, or trellises to support the heavy fruit load and improve airflow. Its dependable performance and consistent production make it a favourite for both beginner and experienced gardeners.

In Alberta, Early Girl Plus Tomato performs exceptionally well in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and regular watering, producing reliable harvests in vegetable gardens, raised beds, greenhouses, and large patio containers.
