| I only planted 4 plants but the plants produced just one tomato that was the size and shape of the promise in the catalog. The seedlings grew very slowly. The taste was only average. |

| Fresh seed from Burpee had 40% germination, poor seedling development under ideal indoor conditions. Plants grew poorly in the garden under less than ideal conditions ( drought ) at times. Plants were the worse I have ever seen in 35 yrs of gardening. What few tomatoes I got were large and had decent taste. Maybe I got some bad seed. |

| Doesn't yield long. Plants grow to be huge so do the fruit but after first onset of fruit there is not much new fruit. Meat texture not good and they do not have a good tomato tast. |
