Customers at market loved this tomato. My wife and son liked it too but not as much as some other varieties I grew. Very productive plants. I am going to save seed and definitely grow again. It was one of my more resistant plants to splitting and performed well during our mainly dry summer (with rare periods of heavy rain). An update from the summer of 2012: Still a good producer with very few split fruit, even after heavy rain that came after a long drought. Skin is very thin though and can be a problem while picking for market. I usually use scissors to cut the stems off the plant so I don\'t crush the fruit while taking it off the vine. Still good flavor though and very popular.
