Description
This women's tee is made from 6.1 oz 100% ring-spun US cotton in a boxy, slightly cropped mid-length cut. It features a topstitched ribbed collar, shoulder-to-shoulder twill tape, a seamless body, and a double-needle bottom hem. Dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes in a WRAP-certified facility, using a salt-free clean pigment process that uses about half the water of conventional pigment dyeing. Boxy fit, sizes S–2XL — it runs close to the body, so size up for a looser drape. Slight shade variation between garments is normal.

Meet garden tomato
Solanum lycopersicum L.
Garden tomato is a warm-season crop whose familiar harvest is botanically a berry. Cultivated forms vary greatly in fruit size and shape, with small to large fruits in shades of yellow, red or purple. Plants can persist as perennials in frost-free climates.

Seasonal development
North Carolina, United States; outdoor cultivation
In North Carolina, outdoor planting follows the last frost. Hot summer conditions can cause blossoms to drop before fruit develops, while indeterminate plants can continue producing until frost ends the season. NC State Extension Gardener Plant Toolbox: Solanum lycopersicum
Native range
Kew treats the cultivated tomato as a cultigen from Peru. Its distribution outside that origin is now extensive, with introduced records across tropical and temperate regions in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and the Pacific. Kew Plants of the World Online: Solanum lycopersicum
Ecological relationships
Bumble bees grip the flower cone and vibrate their flight muscles, shaking pollen loose. University of Maryland field observations describe this buzz pollination as beneficial to fruit set, even though wind movement can also pollinate tomato flowers.
