Comments:

2022 Did not do overly well for me this year - although provided a lot of fruit. Potato leaf, but one plant was obviously a cross because it gave me smaller pear shaped fruit, another gave me small ping-pong sized fruit. I think it's time to freshen the stock from a few other sources. They were interesting enough, but not the 'Stupice' as its known. 1.36 kg (3 lb) per plant.
2014 One of the most reliable tomatoes, and it does well in a wide range of climates. Does well in wetter, cooler weather, and hotter weather doesn't seem to slow it down either. Good traditional full tomato flavour. Very early, and produces until frost. 8lbs per plant.
