| Fairly prolific, disease free, somewhat crispy, meaty, fairly dry, medium-small banana-shaped tomato. Flavorful with sweet/tart balance. Nice looking yellow fruits (but not quite the day-glo yellow in the ad). Only drawback was that they had a fairly woody pith. Would be nice for slicing into salads, but I wanted a canning tomato and the pith was difficult to work around. |
