Cultivar Development

Mountain Magic is the F1 hybrid of NC 2 CELBR and NC 2 grape. NC 2 CELBR is being released as a large fruited tomato line which combines early blight resistance with the Ph-2 and Ph-3 genes for late blight resistance. NC 2 grape is a compact, indeterminate growth habit grape tomato line with the ripening inhibitor gene (rin) for long shelf life and high sugar.
