Nice pics.
I'm also after production, as far as heirloom/op varieties go. I do the best with varieties that were once commercial varieties years ago, or at least derived from them. Some of the very newest OP varieties are also bred with production in mind. |

Wow my plant wasn't anywhere near that bushy. Did you prune it any? I had 3 SOO plants but 1 was a mule. The other 2 made several big tomatoes but I limited them to 2 stems. They are around 7 ft tall but quite narrow. Production was average I'd say but the taste was so good I plan to grow again. I get more request for it than anything else. Hoping to try Claud Browns Giant yellow next year to compare. Have you grown KBX? If so which do you prefer?

this is my first cross of juane flamee and black cherry the plants are very vigorous and more tomatoes than i could pick i now have tons of f2 seeds to plant this fall.if picked early when yellow the taste is like sun gold to me and when its orange its more old fashioned sweet juane flamee tomato taste but the flesh next to the skin has a black cherry taste.i had a few that had a red stripe on them but for the most part they were all the same.they are the largest cherry ive seen.
