Nice slicer. Seems more resistant to disease than others this year. No shoulder cracks which is good. Mid to large globe. Taste is average. I will grow it again. Later in ripening than I anticipated, but everything was this year. |

I planted this tomato in place of Stupice in 2005 to fill the role of the reliable constant yielder of a small-medium red tomato for if and when the bigger/smaller/tastier/rarer ones weren't ripe yet or if they failed. It served this purpose quite well (though Arkansas Traveller did so even better I'd say). A good tomato; nothing surprising or exceptional in my experience.
Grown in MO. |
