| I had so much hope for this one. The description in the catalogs said it was perfect for cool, foggy summers like mine. I always grow stupice and I thought it would be nice to have a bush tomato for container growing. The plant grew as described in the catalogs and had 3 large fruits and a lot of smaller ones. It wasn't any earlier than Stupice and when they ripened they were mealy and bland. I pulled it out and tossed it. I will stick with Stupice only from now on. |

| I grew this in 2007 in a "Topsy Turvey". It was a marriage made in heaven. The flavor is not stupendous when compared to an oxheart or beefsteak but excellent for a container plant. At times it looked like a catalogue picture with all the tomatoes on it. They also held well and did not crack much. The plant was a nice dark green and really was just perfect for something beautiful, manageable and productive in a container. |
