NC HS-1. Plant habit is determinate (sp) (Mutschler et al., 1987). The noncurled foliage is medium green and develops a canopy with moderate fruit coverage. The plants grow vigorously and typically outgrow the stake used in the short-stake, string-weave system. Fruit of NC HS-1 are deep oblate to flattened globular and are symmetrical with a small, smooth, blossom-end scar. Immature fruit are a glossy, uniform green (u) and ripen to an acceptable red exterior and interior color with medium firmness (subjective ratings). Fruit pedicels are jointed and separate easily from the fruit during harvest. NC HS-1 had high total and marketable yields when compared with standard cultivars in trials at Fletcher, N.C. under non–heat stress conditions. Fruit size was smaller than that of ‘Sun Leaper’ and ‘Solar Set’ and did not differ from ‘Flora-Dade’ (Table 1). NC HS-1 is resistant (I, I-2) to races 1 and 2 of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici (Sacc.) Snyd. and Hans., the incitant of fusarium wilt, and is resistant (Ve) to race 1 of Verticillium dahliae Kleb., the incitant of verticillium wilt. Fruit are highly resistant to radial and concentric cracking and to cuticle cracking (weather check). improved cultivar for summer production in piedmont and eastern North Carolina, where night temperatures often range from 21 to 25 °C. ‘Sun Leaper’ was tested as NC 92191 and in the Southern Tomato Exchange Program as STEP 744.
