Hawaiian Anahu Tomato: resistant to RKN, F, low nitrogen situations, TMV and MORE
We are going to try these Anahu tomatoes. Things we LOVED reading about this tomato are highlighted in GREEN below.
Why we want to try them:
An interesting example of a Hawaii heirloom is the 'Anahu' tomato.... Developed in the 1950s from a cross between a wild tomato species and a cultivated tomato, 'Anahu' has tolerance or resistance to many pests and low nitrogen conditions. 'Anahu' continues to be used as a parent in tomato breeding programs worldwide.

Five tomato lines selected for resistance to the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, were studied to characterize the nature of their resistance. ...moderately resistant ‘Anahu’ ... tested by 3 different procedures to define the nature of resistance.
