| Wrong to call it "big boy" because BB is high avid, and this one is acid free. Not at all like BB. Produces beautiful unblrmished bad-tasting fruit. Also caught early blight and gave it to its neighbors. |

| One of the largest and best tasting tomatoes I have ever had. GREAT foilage to shade the fruit to prevent sunscald. I hope I can plant this variety next year in the same spot. |

| The only thing this hybrid lacks is heirloom flavor. It is truly the best tasting, best producing hybrid; I have ever grown. Simular in flavor to Big Boy, but a whole lot more tolerant to early blight. |
