Highly Productive and great taste
by Roger
My favorite tomato. It's great for canning, salads, or burgers. It has very few seeds and is extremely meaty making it amazing for canning. the taste if great and I've grown them in a little shade in the past and not lost flavor or production. I've gotten as many as 20 tomatoes the size of a 15 ounce can off one plant. Highly recommend this tomato.
All around great tomato
by John
Grew taller than my single story house. Great rich flavor makes a nice sandwich and soup/sauce. Very versatile just have to keep pinching the suckers off as this variety suckers heavy. Grown in North county San diego.
Fabulous paste tomato
by Tamara
I have had several tomatoes this year that were between 13 oz and 1 lb. Highly recommend these, they are wonderful for making pasta and pizza sauce. I also like to slice and dehydrate them.
