Overall Taste Yield Ease	Dane, Wisconsin, United States Frost Free Season: 143 - 163 days Soil Texture: Clay Garden Size: Medium - 400 square feet to 1,600 square feet Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day
These vines do like to grow the fruit can get large 1 pound the past factor makes them great for canning and making salsa. I have noticed some green shoulders and inside the fruit some years there were dry areas. I can\'t explain that. Strong staking is a must and plenty of distance between is recommended. These are a staple late season tomato in my patch of earth. Been enjoying them for many years. Yield is high but my growing season will not let them all vine ripen.
