2022 Decided to grow in ground and in pots this year - in pots definitely started to suffer as the season went on, and did better in the bed where it doesn't get the hot, beating sun for 10 hours. Potted plant produced earlier but petered out, garden bed plant produced until frost. Approx 1.4 kg (3lb 2 oz) per plant.
2018 Really tasty, strong grower. Nice classic tomato flavour with an earthy undercurrent. Seemed quite crack resistant, even with uneven watering. Grew better under high heat than Black Krim. Some green shouldering. Best for fresh use. Approx 4.5 lb/plant.
