I grew one of these in a self-watering five gallon container in 2014, which was cool and rainy. They took about 80 days to mature. The fruits are tasty, a nice tomato taste with a little acid followed by a sweet finish. The skins were a little thick, but the upside was that there was very little cracking. They also lasted pretty long after I picked them. Best of all, this is the first tomato I've grown that wasn't affectedas much by yellow leaves that turn brown, which is reason enough to grow them again. I would definitely recommend Marcellino.
