I\'ve grown this variety for several years, and it has always done well. It has good yield, and the flavor is good. I definitely will continue to grow this tomato.

Last year I lost this plant to mosaic virus, but this year it is doing well - standing up to the hot dry summer weather. It started producing earlier than my other large tomatoes.
