There are much better tasting tomatoes out there. I bought these as plants before I started growing my own tomato plants from seed. This tastes and feels like a supermarket variety.

Nice tomato for commercial use. Stays extremely firm. Doesnt require as much N fertilizer as other varieties bred for commercial purposes. There are much better selections for home gardeners.
