| This is a very prolfic round red. I consider them canning tomatoes as I do all round reds. It performs superbly in this climate. The Super Fantastic is a bit larger, but yields about the same. |

| A good but not great variety. This small round tomatoe has performed well, but yield was below several other varieties grown the same year. Flavor was robust for a small round red hybrid. The vines tended to loose sturdyness with time, and late tomatoes were of lesser quality. I prefer the Super Fantastic variety for size and flavor. Neither seems idealy suited to the high plains climate. |
