| This is the most prolific of the large tomatoes I grow. Lots of big, juicy, sweet tomatoes. |

| Very pretty pleated tomato has a bright yellow color when ripe, and pink streaks on the inside. Fruits vary quite ia bit in size, the vine is extremely vigorous and needs strong support. |

| 2005 was the first year I grew this open pollinated variety, so since I save seed, it remains to be seen how later generations do. This tomato has beautiful color and is the sweetest tomato I have ever tasted. It is excellent for eating, and makes a remarkable sauce. Yield and ease/reliability are still in question as I need more experience with this variety. |
