This is the most productive tomato I have ever grown. At the end of the season when others have quit producing, this one is still growing and pumping out fruit. The flavor is just ok, but improves as the season goes on. The texture is a little mealy and the skin is a little bit tough but they are really good dried or mixed with red tomatoes in salsa. The yellow color and jellybean shape are very attractive. I would not grow this as my only cherry-type tomato (sun gold is much tastier and also productive) but in a larger garden the color, shape and productivity make them worth a try. These need a lot of space as the plants get huge.
