It's on my "interest" list... I'd "heard" it was yummy... guess I'll have to wait for everyone to weigh in.

Steve,
It is odd how flavor can vary. I loved the taste of the fruit and so did others. In fact the friends that like meaty tomatoes in particular, it was their favorite.

Stormy,
My plants grew like gangbusters last year. I can't remember though if they started off slower than other plants.

Been sooooooo hot here my fruit set is almost non-existent so I can't say that's a special problem for the plant - but I so wnt it to set fruit!

That's odd. My plant is 5+ feet tall and my sister's is 6-7' tall. Maybe there's something about your soil/climate it doesn't like?

I don't think it was overly early, more early middle and it kept on going. My plants were very productive.

Paul,
Looking good!

Oh my now another type of tomato I need to get. So many tomatoes so little room. This board is a very dangerous place for me.
Has anyone heard if the fuzz makes them more resistant to frost. There was a plant people were breeding to be fuzzier because they thought it would make it frost resistant?
