Comments:

2023 I really like this tomato, although it was heinously late for me this year and I almost didn't get any. Fruit averages about 350 g (12 oz), I'd like to grow again in the future in a better year to see how viable it is here on the prairies. Loves heat, but definitely needs the space to grow.
2011 Large red 8-16 oz fruit, very meaty with great flavour, can be used easily as a slicer or a sauce tomato. Regular leaf plant.
