Grew this new release for the first tike this year (2022) It did not produce very well. However, weather was very hot and dry which most likely had a detrimental effect. Tomato is very meaty and very much a Jersey tomato flavor. But tomatoes have fairly thick skin and are relatively small, with many in the 2 -2 1/2" range. OK, but not the best. For a great flavored Jersey tomato, try Ramapo.
