My favorite varieties that "I think of as large" are Black Krim, Anna Margaret's Heart, and Rebel Yell. If they are not thought of as large - you all are growing huge tomatoes

Mine are Rebel Yell, Terhune, and Dotson's Lebanese Heart. Perhaps I am a bit biased

Anna Margaret's Heart is my favorite as it is a reminder of my aunt for which it was named. Wes and George Detsikas Italian Red are two others that I have grown and enjoyed.

I have clicked on this thread many times - did you notice how many times "Rebel Yell" has made a top 3 three list?
George, I apologize for my typo. I'm sure you understand why I did knowing that it is named after your aunt, It is Anna Margaret's Heart. If any of you all like heart tomatoes, it's pretty nice watching heart tomatoes growing in clusters like cherry tomatoes, but they are huge. Last edited by AlittleSalt; April 25, 2018 at 06:29 PM.

No offense taken, Robert. I just wanted to mention why I was partial to that variety.
