| This tomato grew easy-peasy and has provided a nice crop. It tastes good, though it is no cherokee purple. What I really like is that, being determinate or semi-determinate, it produced some good-tasting, dark tomatoes quite early. Also, they don't look that strange. The unique look in some photos that you will see are taken in such a way as to heighten the oddness of the fruit. My tomatoes matched the pictures, but it was not that big a deal. They have some green color in them and very green shoulders, but not in any unappetizing way. |

| I grew these for the first time last year. It was a rainy, cool summer. These still produced medium sized, yummy tomatoes. Not as prolific as some tomatoes but worth the flavor. These also made a very rich looking spaghetti sauce. This is definitely on my "grow again" list. |

| Not one of my favorites by a long shot,but a fair tasting tomato.The flavor that the other so called blacks are famous for just wasn't there both years that I grew it.6 to 8 oz. fruits was the best it could throw for me,and compared to the other blacks I grow every year,it was the most ignored plant of them all. |
