Red Cloud Tomatoes

[mcsee]

I've been looking for information regarding the plant size when grown of Red Cloud Tomatoes, but I'm not having much success.

Can anyone assist?

It was a semi-determinate plant for me. It needed just a little staking so that the branches didn't flop everywhere. I'm sure you could grow it in a pot without a problem. It produced and produced and produced. Lovely round, red fruit.

Thanks Spatz, that's what I remember from your notes, but I read on a site last week that it was Indeterminate, so it got me worried as I've already planted a couple out into pots.

Thank you.

What about taste?

We grew Red Cloud this year and enjoyed it as a young potato but found it stayed somewhat "tough". I'm beginning to wonder if it might be a better potato to make hash browns out of.
