Arkansas Traveler Heirloom Tomato (Live Plant) 2.5-Inch Pot

Product arrived beautifully package, undamaged and very nice established plants. Would buy from GrowJoy again with out hesitation. Could not ask for more from a mail-order. Have been disappointed by other's many times, but not GrowJoy.

From Cheryl | May 09, 2018


Great look tomato plant!

This tomato plant looks very healthy. As always, care was taken with the packaging. I'm excited to see how the Arkansas Traveler does in the heat. We have many consecutive days of 100F degree weather so it should be interesting!

From Jenny | April 25, 2018


Outstanding packaging

Plants were extremely healthy and took off as soon as I re-potted. Not in garden yet. Still not warm enough. Was shipped at proper time but we are way below norms for this time of year. Plants surrounded by plastic shields to protect them. Best packaging of plants I have ever seen!

From James | April 19, 2018


I would order again!

The Arkansas Travelers Tomato plants arrived in relatively good condition-especially given the condition of the shipping box-I was a little hesitant about what I would find inside. They were packed well enough that the crushed corner of the box did not affect the plants at all. They were a little dry, but re-hydrated well and of good size when they arrived. I would order from GrowJoy again.

From anonymous | January 31, 2018

Arkansas Traveler Heirloom Tomato

We moved from Illinois to Florida and needed help with our plants this year, because of the change in weather. GrowJoy was their to give us help with what tomato plants to buy. We have never had a problem with any product we have ordered from them.

My Arkansas Traveler plant is still perky and thriving quite well since I planted them one and a half weeks ago. It even has flowers set on it.

Fantastic Quality

Two years back I got an Arkansas Traveler Heirloom Tomato plant from here and it thrived crazy, i was overwhelmed by enormous amount of tomatoes and this year I got a different Heirloom from here and it's already flowering and growing crazy, extremely happy with GrowJoy.

From Reema | May 02, 2013


Heirloom Tomato Plants

I ordered three Heirloom Tomato plants and chose USPS shipping for them. The box was somewhat crushed when I received it but the tomato plants inside it were in good condition. So far I am pleased with them. They have been planted in containers for about nine days now and seem to be doing fine.

From Frank | April 22, 2013


good tomato

when i received this plant it was wilted, but after a day of water and sun it came back well.

From susan | April 21, 2013


Great service

Great service, quick delivery, too. I especially like the variety of Heirloom Tomato plants GrowJoy has. Previous order came in just as requested and did well. A very good company to do business with.

From anonymous | January 14, 2013


much talked about Heirloom

I need a tomato that does well in the 95 degree and hotter weather, so I am trying this one. Came packaged very well. Was very worried with plants wilting in the heat of the UPS truck, but they were fine. Am very excited about this one. It may be my salvation for a hot weather tomato. Plant arrived about a foot tall and is now maybe 2 feet tall and doing well. It has been about 2 weeks. Loved the ph coding in the instructions. Found out my plants were in too alkaline soil, but the weather here breaks down the soil so quickly.
