Solanum lycopersicon (70-75 days; determinate) Bred by Dr. Neil Holland at North Dakota State University and released in 1973. Cannonball is a mid-season, determinate variety producing 10-14 oz. round, solid, fairly crack- resistant fruits with above average yields; a great canning tomato. This compact plant fits well in space limited gardens or containers. Cannonball is part of our Bryce Farnsworth Collection; he passionately maintained seedstocks of NDSU cultivars, many no longer commercially available. He entrusted those seeds to us. We honor him by offering these seeds to you.
