| This variety did well for me in 2005 but performed poorly in 2006. The tomato is excellent for making red sauce which was it's sole purpose in our garden. The fruit size was exceptional. The plants grew very tall so my tomago cages had to be extended to accomodate the taller plants. My poor production in 2006 might have been due to having chosen a different location in the garden.
I will likely try this variety again in the upcoming spring garden but with fewer plants. |

| I got some BIG tomatoes from these plants: some nearly a pound (though most were 10-12 ounces as suggested on the seed packet). Very meaty: excellent for sauce. Also very good as a slicing tomato. Drawbacks: The fruits tend to get large cracks on the shoulders, and they usually don't ripen completely (leaving 1/3 to 1/2 of the fruit unusable). The high productivity of the plants and the large size of the fruits compensates for these drawbacks. |
