Hybrid taste

tomakers · July 16, 2007

Many years ago I started growing Jet Star and Supersonic from Harris after trying many hybrids and OPs (I liked Moreton hybrid also). IMHO they are 2 of the best tasting tomatoes you can grow. They are both very productive, and as resistant to disease as any (I have never had a crop failure on either of them).
As a matter of fact, I think Supersonic is as good tasting as any OP I have grown. I urge you to try Supersonic. I think you will be surprised at how good they taste.
About 4 years ago I tried Primetime (another Harris hybrid), a late LARGE determinate. The crop and taste are excellent. I have grown a couple every year since.
Last year I tried Brandyboy and I probably will continue to grow at least one from now on.
I also liked Big Boy and Big Girl (maybe no longer available?), but Supersonic IMO beats them for taste.
I also grow about 25 OPs, always looking for the ultimate tomato.
Happy Gardening,
Tom
