| Grew this variety this winter at our place in Mexico. Tomato yellow leaf curl virus is terrible there and this is reported resistant. Plants grew and produced well with no sign of virus but flavor wasn't as good as Security or Champion II, the other two virus resistant varieties I grew. All 3 varieties showed no signs of virus. The winter before all my plants were infected and failed to produce. |

| This one of the better tasting TSWV resistant cultivars. It is not as good flavor wise as Bella Rosa, but on par with Talledega, Amelia and Topgun. Yields better than Amelia and is slightly smaller in fruit size than Topgun. Better in all respects than BHN 444. Very good resistence, kept going when regual tomatoes all around were dying. |
