Essex, New York, United States
Frost Free Season: 103 - 123 days
Soil Texture: Clay
Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40')
Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day

Plants required sturdy staking to hold up the nice yield of large/fairly heavy fruit. The fruit is very "meaty" and had nice flavor - very nice for making sauce. We had a couple months of almost constant rain - this variety handled the excessive amount of rain better than other varieties.

Good yield and flavor. Developed some blight in August, possibly would have done even better with stronger taller stakes.

Oneida, New York, United States
Frost Free Season: 143 - 163 days
Soil Texture: Loam
Garden Size: Medium - 400 square feet to 1,600 square feet
Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day

Transplanted into a large black fabric container bed. Plants grew very minimally from May to August but ended up fruiting quite a bit for a decent yield. Plants were very leggy and unsturdy, we staked and tied to hold up the plants, as the fruit was very heavy and long. Harvested tomatoes were very delicious, sliced easily and had a lot of concentrated flavor.
