Very good large tomato, more productive than pink Brandywine for me. Good flavor and large fruit. Still not super productive but a steady producer. Plants are quite large and fill my 5 foot cages quite nicely.

This took a while to ripen and was not very prolific, but the flavor was very good. I thought the name was great and it had good descriptions in the catalog, so I tried it. I don't know if I'll try it again. I grew it for the last 2 years and it was actually better the first year.

This was one of my new favorites this year. Very productive and very large unblemished fruits. I gave 4 stars because I save the 5 for the "make you slap your momma" tomatoes. This was very tasty and was late to succumb to disease which is always present in my garden. I will definitely grow this one again, a real winner.

This is the best tasting tomato I've grown so far. I know taste is subjective, but others who have grown it love it too. It has a mix of flavors like good beefsteaks do. This past season was incredibly hot and dry. Most of the heirloom beefsteak varieties didn't produce as well as normal. I did get a good amount of tomatoes from Stump and it produced until frost, so I'm assuming that under normal conditions yeild will be pretty good.
