| One of my favorites. Tomatoes were very large and meaty. Excellent beefsteak tomato flavor. Yield was few in number but that was made up for in the size of the tomates! |

| In my garden, Mule Team performed well. The plant was strong and production continued throughout the season despite having some problems with early blight. The fruits were in the 8-10 oz. range and were blemish-free. Great tasting heirloom tomato, round and red with a thin skin. Mule Team has been compared to the variety Box Car Willie with some saying that they might be the same variety with different names. I've grown both in the same year -- and Mule Team outperformed and tasted better than "Willie". I highly recommend this variety for the home garden. |
