| Even with a horrible Michigan summer Earl's Faux produced 12 ounce to 1 1/2 lb. delicious tomatoes. Most were ripened indoors after the fall frost. Plants purchased from selectedplants.com. Planted June 19. First frost around September 15. |

| Great tasting tomato,a must in my garden each year.
I do have to take issue with the heirloom part of the description however.The seeds were bought (by Earl)as Red Brandywine and turned out to be potato-leafed(RB is a regular leaf variety)so it's hard to tell what it is for sure.It is similar looking to Brandywine Pink,but who knows for sure.
