Seed Source: Purchased from TomatoFest. Purchaser donated seed to the Populuxe Seed Bank.
Comments:
2014 Mild sweeter flavour, but gel is somewhat tart. Earlier than 'Yellow Pear', larger as well, but somewhat more finicky of a plant (likes good amounts of water, suffered more than other tomatoes with less water). Even so, produced well. 5.2lb per plant.
