First year for this. The seed packet has a disclaimer saying that it's susceptible to early blight. They're not kidding. This variety was a total waste of time. Funny though, the few tiny little fruit that I got actually tasted OK. |

I grew the Sub Artic Maxi the summer of 2002 as part of a tomato trial. The tomato produced a large early crop in mid July and then an occasional fruit for the rest of the summer. Glacier and Early Girl beat Sub artic maxi, with Early girl giving larger and better tasting fruits, while glacier produced the first fruits ( about 2 weeks earlier). |
