| A very reliable yellow tomato with excellent yields. The flavor is average, but it is a low acid tomato. It is very healthy and robust plant with excellent yields. |

| Only grow this if you HAVE to have a medium sized yellow tomato in your garden. Above average yield and easy to grow, but pretty tasteless. Not offensive, but just bland. I grew them two seasons, in case the first year of boring tomatoes was a fluke. But, same flavor both years. |

| Although this variety was easy to grow and yield was relatively high, the tomatoes taste quite unremarkable. They were bland with not much sweetness or acidity. I will not grow this particular tomato again. |

| Bland and tasteless. In a hot dry year they cracked terribly after a thunderstorm - probably 95%. But there were tons of them. |
