I only tried this variety one season. It did quite well and the taste was about the same as Better Boy, which I consider quite good. Since it\'s a determinate tomato, the production is not great, but it was very good. I would say the size was medium - somewhat smaller than Better Boy. |

This introduction from Sakata is the best flavored Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus tolerant tomato that I have tried. Infinitely better favored and a better yield than BHN 444. Plants are smaller than Amelia and tend to have more concentrated fruit set. Tomatoes are not large as Topgun, but a nice size. Juicier fruit. Amelia and Topgun are good, but I think Bella Rosa shades them. If TSWV is a problem, it is a good choice. |
