Talk about huge tomatoes! Omar's Lebanese is the heirloom to grow if you want the bragging rights! It's flavor is pretty good -- but not as good as some others. I'd say it's the size of the fruits that really makes this variety stand out. The first year I grew Omar's we had a sudden late freeze. I was very impressed at how the plants came back after being killed to the soil line. Didn' t have any problems with disease with Omar's; however, some of the fruits, while being huge, were misshapen. |

These tomatoes are really huge and pretty good in the flavor department. I've grown them for 2 years though and last summer was a little disappointed in their yield. I will give them another try though. |
