| This is the first year I've grown this variety, but I do not think I will grow it again. It is a beautiful looking tomato, shaped just like a heart. The fruit, however, was quite mushy, and the taste was rather bland. |

| I grew this for the first time this year and will grow it again. The fruits are beautiful and look just like a heart and tend to be about the same size as a human heart. The taste is very good and it's a very meaty tomato. It is better than Brandywine for disease resistance but it is still not as resistant as some of my mainstay varieties. I grow Brandywine mainly for market where people like beefsteaks, but they are a difficult variety. This one had good acceptance at the market, and although not quite as tasty as Brandywine, it's close. |

I have grown this variety for 3 years and like it very much. We sell heirloom plants and the folks I sell it to generally want it again the next year. We have 25 varieties and plant at least one of each in our garden to judge if we will grow it agian the next year. |
