| Growing this in Florida Sept-Jan it was a very reliable: disease-free, pest-free variety. My only complaint is that it is not great flavor. The reliability makes up for it along with the heavy bearing. |

| For a general-purpose tomato that's hardy, vigorous, and produces fruit full of that genuine tomato flavor - these can't be beat. Floradade is great in salads, on sandwiches (although it takes several slices), or just to slice up and eat raw. |
