Bred in Quebec, this is a heavy-producing variety that ripens relatively early, after about ten weeks. Ideal for northern climates because it tolerates cool spring nights, down to 4°C. Medium-sized red fruit are ideal for home canning. Precocibec is a ‘determinate’ tomato: it ripens all at once, and terminates its stem growth, and so is ideal for growing in small spaces. Expect about 2 feet in height. Open-pollinating, it requires direct sunlight. Also known as Doucet’s Quebec Early Market.
