Same experience here.
I had two plants. One with ZERO fruits as of yesterday. I was so mad that I just yanked it.
The second one has just 3 small green ones.
What a waste of space.

Yep, me too. I'll get a few fruit when all is said and done this season, but it didn't set at all until the weather got as warm as we ever get. I wonder if this one (Kellogg's Breakfast) just needs more heat than some of us get. It won't be invited back to the party.

It didn't do well for me either the year that I grew it. Could well me that there wasn't enough heat. A complete waste of space which I will never repeat!

I'm yet to see an OP yellow that beats Taxi on production. I haven't had anything else come close.

Yoder's German Yellow was very good, taste-wise. It is more orange than yellow.

KBX isn't early, I have one this year just west of you, and it's just ripening now. Probably 10 or so fruit all very good (>1 lb) size. I'll let you know how they taste. If they all have a chance to ripen I'd say it's fairly productive and mid season here in Ontario.

KBX, Dr. Wyche's Yellow. Does Wapsipinicon Peach count?

Summer Cider this year in Idaho has done well for me. It is the only yellow full-sized tomato I've ever grown, but good taste is good taste no matter what the color.

I bellieve I grew Summer Cider years back when searching for a more prolific but equally flavorful. alterrnative to. Aunt Gerties Gold. Thanksfor the reminder!

Azoychka, Aunt Gertie's Gold, Galina (cherry).
I have become convinced that Aunt Gertie just isn't a producer. It has pollination problems, so I assumed that was the cause, but this year it pollinated well, and the tomatoes were just smaller, in total still one of the least productive, but not terrible. Fantastic texture though, one of the best I've seen.

KBX is a winner for me. My bride this year declared it her favorite so it wins on many levels for me.

A few would ripen here and there but the majority were late.

I love KBX - got lots of those and lots of Aunt Gertie's Gold this year.
