Great flavor

by

I really enjoy the flavor of this tomato. It is so good sliced on hamburgers. I did have some trouble with the fruit splitting, but I would blame that on my inexperience and a problem with our water line. The flavor is worth it, so I am trying it again this year.

Lovely flavor, may crack

by

Delicious flavor and beautiful looking, but they seem prone to cracking. Bit challenging to maintain the right moisture balance between dry spells and heavy rain in SE PA to prevent the cracks. Juicy and nice to cook with.

Always loved this tomato. I grew it years ago and to this day people still ask me about it.
