Comments:
2023 Not quite as productive for me this year, only about 3.5lbs this year per plant, but everything had a bad year. I also grew it in a pot for the first time, and that might have hampered growth a bit as well, even though it's not a giant plant. 2018 Another good year for this variety, despite cool/wet spring. Delayed ripening because of high night temps, but still grew quite well. Continues to be a favourite! 6 lb/plant. 2015 Great variety, excellent tomatoey acidic flavour. Heavily pleated. Grew well in high heat, although ripening did delay a bit. Doesn't like to be crowded. Really good production. Earliest fruit was the largest at about 8 oz each. Approx 6.5 lbs/plant.
