Comments:
2024 2017 Excellent production, even as the plant started to suffer with the heat. Very minimal blossom drop, no fruit drop. No cracking or splitting, and one of my best producers this year. 2011 Plant produced fruit that have a really unique flavour; acidic like they've already been salted, but with a sweeter finish in the mouth. Makes the most excellent tomato juice you've ever tasted. Refuses to crack or split at all, even with the most irregular of watering.
