Accession: 128
Seed Source: Original seed purchased from Tatiana's TomatoBase.
Comments:
2014 Suffered a bit this year for me with the higher heat. Very little production this year. Better if grown in shade in pots in a year with hotter weather. 2011 Good all around tomato flavour, the real draw of this tomato is that it's great in containers, and excellent for short and cool seasons. Doesn't like to be too wet or hot, or leaves will curl and fruit will crack.
