The plant I have is very robust and loaded. Can't wait to try mine!

Mine taste like a combination of a black and a GWR. Rich and earthy with a sweet zing on the end. I love them.

OK, BVV! Thanks for the 'teaser'. I'm very curious now! With that flavor combo, and the color combination, it can't go wrong

I have said before, it's like the truly perfect tomato. It's that gorgeous, that vigorous and disease tolerant, and taste almost a perfect 10, I say almost because nothing ever gets a 10 from me.

I have learned to take you at your word dear, our taste buds are apparently quite similar. Thanks again for the seeds, truly wonderful variety.

Totally agree. Marsha has great taste on tomatoes and has shared seeds with so many people it's mind boggling.

She always has great advice on really great tasting tomatoes.

Thank you Ginny.

I agree- all of the varieties recommended by Marsha have blown me away this year- especially Rebel Yell, and I only tasted one tomato

I would say more like pink. But you have to let the light green stripes ripen fully to a dark red, as in the pictures. If you cut them when the stripes are orange, it is too tart. When red, the fruit is very juicy, and sweet. I am also impressed with the disease tolerance so far- my Cuostralees have both withered away.....

Hm, this variety intrigues me. Is it stable? Is it a mutation or a mystery variety or what, It's not very clear to me.
Also, how would you compare it to Pink berkly Tie Die, in terms of taste, just to get an idea (they look somewhat similar, PBTD being a bit darker coloured it seems).

I've grown GGWT and PBTD side by side for several seasons. I sent Marsha the seeds she first grew it with after a friend sent them to me. I prefer PBTD because I have limited garden space and they are similar but PBTD is a little more tart, overall a little more uniform in shape (easier to slice) and earlier to mature but just as productive. If you like PBTD you should like GGWT. GGWT is usually larger overall and just strikingly beautiful so its definitely worth a grow. If I had unlimited space I would still grow it but with limited space and for the reasons listed above (especially the earliness and similarity in so many other ways to GGWT ) i grow PBTD and have started to leave off GGWT. I believe it is stable. I have always gotten the same type from it. Below is a picture of GGWT and PBTD side by side from when i grew them in 2014. I have two seasons a year where I am in Florida and I grew both twice a year along with other types for several seasons.. PBTD was my favorite until this year when Sgt Peppers edged it out.

Thank you for the detailed description. PBTD is also one of my favourites, it's dependability is great, it doesn't have wild changes in taste like other tomatoes during the season, and it's suitable for containers, being reasonably compact.
