| Tall growth, no disease issue. Wonderfully meaty & pleasant flavor. Would definitely grow these in place of San Marzano. |

| Plants required sturdy staking to hold up the nice yield of large/fairly heavy fruit. The fruit is very "meaty" and had nice flavor - very nice for making sauce. We had a couple months of almost constant rain - this variety handled the excessive amount of rain better than other varieties. |

| Transplanted into a large black fabric container bed. Plants grew very minimally from May to August but ended up fruiting quite a bit for a decent yield. Plants were very leggy and unsturdy, we staked and tied to hold up the plants, as the fruit was very heavy and long. Harvested tomatoes were very delicious, sliced easily and had a lot of concentrated flavor. |
