Default RED KING Tomato

Any information on this one? Did not see it on Tatiana's or after a net search.
Characteristics? Flavor? Size?

So you already have the seeds for it?

I was going to give you a seed source, but decided you probably already had the seeds so went to one of my older SSE YEarbooks and found a couple of folks who had listed it.

One says 65 days, med size nice red fruit, very firm, good yield and cites Twilley Seeds as the seed source.

The other person says 60-70 days, det, reg leaf , good early yields of 3-6 oz fruits, some much larger, very firm and meaty, exc dis resistance, seeds from_________ who is another SSE member. in 1988.

Thanks Carolyn,
Yes, I have a few plants growing, but was just wondering what to expect as I could not find a descrption. Guess I'll just have to find out how it tastes, but at least it sounds like it should be worth the space to give it a try.
