| I'll probably add to this later but this is one of the best tasting tomatoes I've ever had. so far I've only gotten two off the plant but more are on the way. This has been a bad disease year for me but so far the plant is doing great. |

| Even in our Zone 4 garden this is my very favorite variety. Large to gigantic tomatoes (32oz. record) that come late in the season - outstanding flavor makes them worth every minute of anticipation. We have these on grilled hamburgers and fresh homemade buns all through late summer and fall and for as long as the ones we've brought inside to ripen last! A few tears are always shed when the last one is eaten. They dry nicely for a burst of tomato flavor in those mid-winter salads. |

| Unlike the others, my YB yielded 29.2# from one plant. However, 15# were picked mostly green in October. If my climate is ever "normal" again, I could get half the yield as most ripen so late. One thing I can say is The plants were the biggest in the garden, 7' when I topped them on Labor Day. They really need to be caged. The fruit were nicely shaped and good sized, and had the best flavor of any end of the season tomato picked green. |

| I had to try it on name alone but it does not compare to several other yellow/orange types. Nice beefy fruits but the taste lacked the complexity I was hoping for. Did suffer catfacing and mishapen fruits, too. Production was low. |

| The hands-down best tasting of the two dozen plus varieties that we grow each year. Not the prettiest or highest yielding, but worth growing for the superb, consistent flavor. |

| This cultivar grows a huge vine, but yields few tomatoes. Those it does yield are large and visually appealing. To me, the taste is a little off. I much prefer the Goldie, Amana Orange , Golden Ponderosa, , Golden Colossal for both taste and performance. |

| Amongst yellows Brandywine Yellow, especially the Platfoot strain, has the richest flavor, mouth watering texture but poor yield. |

| The best large fruited Yellow. Usually not very productive but what one does get is usually better than most red varieties. |
