Comments:
2023 2017 One of my earlier producers this year - first to set flowers and second to ripen. Did well with irregular moisture and high daytime and nighttime temps. No cracking or splitting. Some family that also grew this variety mentioned how amazing their harvests has been as well. 2011 Delicious and sweet fruit. Squat, flat shape with heavy pleating. Doesn't suffer at all when it's dried out, as it was in the driest part of my garden and suffered from irregular watering from time to time, but never cracked, and plant didn't suffer any stress. Even sets fruit at lower temperatures when the rest of my tomatoes were dropping their buds. If it gets too wet the plant does seem to abort fruit. A definite new favourite of mine!
