| I have grown these for 2 or 3 years with great results. Great flavor, very prolific, fruits the size of a tennis ball, some bigger. First fruits after about 70-75 days; mine are grown in a plastic hoop house. Temps often get over 100 in there, and the plants keep on producing. When it gets cold, I give them a thin row cover, and they last until a hard frost. Plants usually give me a dozen ripe fruits per week over a long period. They will keep for about 10 days in a basket on the table. This year I had Sioux tomatoes from early August until end of October. Hornworms have not bothered this variety as much as others I grow. |

| Excellent tomato for hot humid & even somewhat dry conditions. Does excellently here in our hot Oklahoma summers. Fruit is medium sized and with very little core. Flavor is very good, medium size & red. Vines are indeterminate but not rampant. Bears abundantly. Not much leaf cover, yet yields of usable fruit are good. Very good for canning yet quite suitable for slicing . If I had to grow only one tomato I'd consider Sioux. |
