Grower: Kelly

Year: 2015

Accession: 30

Seed Source: Donated from a private donor.

Comments:

2015 Moderate production, but good classic tomato flavour tasting fruit. Seems to suffer in heat, might be better suited to a climate more like the west coast of Canada or England. Didn't burn like the rest of my tomatoes, and bounces back, but the production was severely delayed. Approx 2 lbs/plant.
