The seeds for these plants were provided to CCE by Cornell in conjunction with its Tomato Blight Education Project. We were very disappointed in this variety. Although we started with 7 plants, only 4 of them lived long enough to produce fruit. Of these, the plants were small and sparse, with only 5 or 6 branches; the fruit were often splotchy in colors of red, orange and yellow. The fruits also were small, often with a strange odor and flavor that was somewhat "soil like). We tried the tomatoes in salads and on sandwiches, and most of the comments were negative because of that. There was no indication of disease or pest activity, but they certainly were not attractive or productive. I don't think we would try to grow these again.
