| The heat tolerance isn't worth the tasteless tomatoes that Super Sioux produced in my garden last year. It will not be back. Moreover, I think its heat tolerance is overrated, with many other better tasting varieties performing as well or better. Examples, to name a few: Brandy Boy, Mexico, Boondocks, Burgundy Traveler. |

| Super Sioux is great for the heat. While many other varieties either wilt or have their stems turn brown, Super Sioux soaked up the 100 degree+ sun and kept a green stem the whole time with only minimal burn from where the plant touched its pot. Although it grows VERY SLOWLY in cooler temperatures it comes back strong and outperforms many other heat-resistant heirlooms. |

| I grew this plant in an 18 gallon pot in dappled shade last year. It produced small tasty tomatoes for me throughout the summer. I thought they had an excellent balance of sweet and tangy flavor.
Granted the harvest was not large, but I was a noob at the art and science of growing heirlooms, It has earned my deepest respect for producing at all in the face of my inexperience, the hornworm attact, and the midsummer heat. |

| This is a nice smaller canner type tomatoe which produces well enough and looks nice, but it just lacks any get up and go in the outstanding flavor department. It is better than Fantastic by a mile, but it also is a mile behind the better flavored acidic, sweet and tomatoey types like Big Boy, Rose and Azoykcha. |
