| Produced phenomenally in the PNW in a plastic tunnel. Very sweet, good for drying or eating fresh. The plants looked sickly all season with wispy leaves, but survived late blight when it was killing everything around them. It\'s our fourth year growing them. |

| Average taste, nice orange color. I'm looking for new colors for tomatoes, but in the same time I'm looking for excellent taste, too. Ananas Noir is big hit, but orange banana is not in that class.
Late blight already killed this variety, while my other varieties are still producing. |

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

| Fruit is an average tasting paste tomato.
Can be grown in a pot with carefull/consistent watering to avoid blossom end rot.
Good for salads for the color and shape.
Also good to introduce young children (1~3) to tomatoes since it doesn't have a strong tart flavor to it. |
