| I planted coyote in 2017 and was not disappointed! Even growing in a container the plant had fantastic yield, producing lots of fruit into early November when I finally pulled it (it was a mild growing season this year). I found their taste to be sweeter than most tomatoes and used them in salads or enjoyed right off the vine. Coyote was a prolific grower, constantly growing out of its cage, but in a container it was manageable if not a bit unruly at times. I would definitely recommend planting coyote and will be planting this variety again in 2018. |

| Good taste. Tiny version of Snow White. Crazy growth of the plant. Hard to control plant. |

| This tomato was provided by Cornell in conjunction with its Tomato Blight Education project.
We planted these in very early July. The plants were small, and compact that produced golden yellow fruit in clusters similar to certain other cherry tomatoes or grapes, beginning in early July, and continued until late September. The fruit was very sweet when fully ripe, but turned bitter if left on the plants for too long. They were great in both vegetable and fruit salads,
although the skin bruised easily. They were a very big hit right off the vines in the garden. We would definitely grow these again. The plants stayed healthy throughout the growing season with no sign of blight or any other disease, and there was very little spoilage. |

| The plant grew well without extra care in a bed supplemented with only compost, no additional fertilizers were used. The indeterminate plant was placed in a tall tomato cage, but overgrew it's bounds quickly. The small cherry sized fruit grew in significant clusters of 6 to 8 yellow fruits. The taste was unique, sweet - tart, pleasant. There was no disease detected throughout the growing season. I would grow it again as a fanciful complementary variety to more hearty types of tomatoes. |

| Initially we had uneven germination but in the long run almost all of the 100 seeds provided by Cornell did sprout.
This was a very large plant and prolific producer. Tomatoes were as promised yellow and small- about the size of a marble. Sweet taste. Very good resistance to disease with no preventive spraying in my garden. Other tomatoes in my garden did get late blight in late September. Today is October 2nd. This plant is still going strong.
I would probably not grow this tomato again. |

| This tomato grew well in large pots in full sun with little care. The plants are producing a great quantity of ripe tomatoes right now. We are just starting to see signs of blight. |

| I had never heard of this variety, but was given the seeds of this heirloom tomato. The plants are incredibly vigorous, but production did not keep pace considering the size and quality of the plant and its foliage. I must say, our family did not prefer the taste of the small fruit--there is a burst of tomato flavor, then there is a finish that is different, but I cannot describe it--sort of "green" tasting. Not bad, but I prefer other tomatoes. Some folks had trouble germinating seed, but I had no issues. |
