I really liked this tomato. It has been a reliable staple in the garden, always producing good amounts of red fruit. The fruits didn't suffer BER or catfacing. I found the taste good to very good and used it a lot in salads and sauces. It lived up to recommendations in my garden.

I've seen others rave about this one, but for me it was nothing special. Other varieties I grew the same year outproduced it and had better flavor. The taste was okay, but not outstanding by any means.
