Yet to taste this tomato, but in terms of growing it doesn’t set many stems and fruitset is not as abundant as I hoped. Also seems to be a pest magnet compared to my other tomatoes. Will grow it again - maybe it’s just me.

Hands down the best tasting tomato in existence

This tomato reminded me of what tomatoes should taste like. Big umami flavour. I probably picked it a bit late at first- a bit soft but still with a green shoulder so they were a bit mealy. I got my plants as seedlings which were really vigorous and grew fantastic foliage and thick stems but leaf miner struck when the fruit started to set so had to remove quite a few so the yield is not super large. Will definitely try these again next year and be more vigilant.
