Mid-season, indet. I grew it outdoors in the dirt, and the yield was above average. The fruits are large red beefsteaks, meaty, and juicy. Very good balanced flavor, you could definitely taste a hint of sweetness.
Really liked this variety. Heavy yielder, large-fruited, and tasty. The main stem actually snapped off while it was still a seedling. I planted it anyway, let the suckers grow out, and kept the two strongest ones. It still managed to pump out a ton of large tomatoes.
Grew it again this year, though for some reason I only have old photos left. Good variety, highly productive. The fruits are large and meaty. The flavor is nicely balanced, offering both sweetness and a little tartness.
