Jeff will speak for himself on taste but Russian #117, for me, is an excellent tasting variety.

Jeff, with this variety I usually get mostly double flat hearts and very few singles. How about you?

Carolyn,For some reason this year all the fruit produced were single hearts.
VvtatervV, Agreed with Carolyn in the taste category...never been let down yet with this one. It is one good looking tomato on an open-faced sandwich.

I have had great production with Russian #117 and Hays' Tomato this year.
