Wake, North Carolina, United States
Frost Free Season: More than 203 days
Soil Texture: Loam
Garden Size: Small - Less than 400 square feet (20' x 20')
Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day

Excellent tomato for sauce-making, with few seeds and little pulp. My main complaint with this, and most other plum tomatoes, is its susceptibility to blossom-end rot. Over half of the fruits from late July onward end up getting tossed in the woods.
