I really did like this tomato and so did my customers at market. It is beautiful with the ribbing and had a rich tomato flavor. The yield was good (not as good as some others but a steady producer all season) and if not for that darned woodchuck raiding my garden I would have gotten many more. Will definitely grow again.

Hartford, Connecticut, United States
Frost Free Season: 123 - 143 days
Soil Texture: Loam
Garden Size: Medium - 400 square feet to 1,600 square feet
Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day

This variety was a heavy producer in my first time growing it. I found the tomato a bit more flat and scalloped than the description. The flavor was a bit above average. The plants grew out of control even staked and were just huge. I had to put stakes all aoround the plant just to contain it. Tomatoes averaged about eight ounces and over sixty per plant well into October.

Alameda, California, United States
Frost Free Season: 183 - 203 days
Soil Texture: Clay
Garden Size: Medium - 400 square feet to 1,600 square feet
Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day

I grew 4 of these plants. Some bushes did better than others. They grow out of control - they are vines. you cant trim them back you have to let them grow. The fruit was awesome! I am going to grow this one again next year for sure. Nice flavor - nice for cutting. As the season went on the tomatos got smaller, but when it started each mater was at least 2 lbs each. Nice flesh - juicy. Indetermiant. I did some pruning so I could see the tomatos and horn worms :(
