| My second year growing this variety from seed started indoors. The seedlings were much healthier than the paste & beefsteak types started together & took off faster once transplanted. This variety kept producing way after the frost did the other tomato types in. During the worst hot/dry spell this one proved to be the most reliable. A volunteer plant of this variety came up late Spring that was the star of the garden. I prefer this one over the most popular hybrid cherry types. Very tasty! It's Nov. 9 in zone 6, & I'm still picking these daily to keep up! |

| Still on the hunt for the perfect red cherry tomato - this is not it. Tomato flavour was average. Plants were healthy, large and productive, but the tomatoes were very prone to splitting. If you grow it you will need to trellis it. |

| This plant has been exceptionally productive and the foliage looks good - no disease this year. However I think the flavor is just OK not great. I may grow this again. |

Had some problems this year with cracking due to wet summer, no other problems.
