These plants are great tasting and very fleshy few seed sized up to almost a pound each. I like big sauce tomatoes. Color was deep dark red and grow well a late season fruit that seem to know when to stop producing and start sizing up and ripening. The plant seems to ripen all it\'s fruit before the frost shuts it down.

I grew this in 2007. It produced slightly more than Opalka which is the same type of tomato as this. The flavor of the sauce is outstanding - wonderfully sweet. It was very easy to process as there are few seeds and it has little juice. As with Opalka it is sauce when it comes out of the mill - no hours of cooking. My favorite sauce tomato in 2007. I will be planting several in 2008
