| I have grown the Italian Tree (Totally Tomatoes)and Burgess Trip-L-Crop. Not the same but one may be a varient of the other. Italian tree is an average large pink befsteak. Low yielding, but otherwise does not stand out in this field. Like most of this type very little shelf life and tend to irregular shapes. Vine go 6-8 feet, not as vigorous or as tall as Brandywine |

| I thought I would try this variety after seeing the claim that the vines could grow up to 25ft. The plants did get about 8ft tall being staked up. It was a heavy producer of pink tomatoes. The flavor was good. The big downfall of this variety is the shelf life is one day. The tomatoes have very thin skins which split very easily, and just setting in the house for a day or two they started spoiling. I didn't notice any splitting while on the vines. When picking these tomatoes, you have to be careful not to bump them, to keep the skin from splitting. I found them to be a very watery tomato. I have also seen this variety labled "triple L crop". |
