1. Original Name: AH Scorpii.
2. History: A variety from the USA. Developed by tomato breeder Dale Thurber in 2017 from a cross between Hoy (an old heirloom variety originating from West Virginia, USA) and Delicious. The variety was named after a red supergiant star named AH Scorpii and located in the constellation Scorpius.
3. Plant Specifications: Mid-season. Indeterminate, tall bush, growing up to 6.5 feet (200 cm) tall. Thick stem, regular leaf. Regular truss, 3-4 large fruits per truss.
4. Training Instructions: It is recommended to train the bush to not more than two main stems, and pruning and staking are a must. It is also preferable to tie clusters with fruits.
