| I grew this tomato two seasons ago and was disappointed by the yield. I may start trying seed saving to see if I can improve it because this tomato has an exceptional color (the inside is the orange of a carrot and is not a color found in any other tomato I've seen), has very high beta-carotene, and is very tasty and a bit unusual. I think it is an excellent tasting tomato and very appealing to the eye when sliced. If I can get the yields and disease resistance up, I might add this as a mainstay tomato. |

| In my Northern VA garden this tomato was easy to grow and lasted pretty much the whole season. The vines stay manageable. The taste is only ok (I would've given it a 2.5 on taste if that had been available). |

| Another huge disappointment. I probably got the plants in the ground too late (hard not to do in North Texas) but my plants never produced a single tomato. I don't even know what they look like! |
