| This cultivar is so susceptible to southern blight (Sclerotium rolfsii ) that it almost never lives long enoght to bear a tomato. |

| Large fruits. Reliable with outstanding tomato flavor. Productive with high yields in most years. Not affected by drought as much as other tomatoes. Unless you plan to follow them on a long vine it helps to stake them. |
