Growers’ Notes and Photos (USDA Zone 4 Experience)
Mid-season indeterminate slicer, regular leaf. The fruits are massive, really hefty 😆. Red, slightly ribbed beefsteaks, very meaty. Outstanding balanced flavor with a nice sweetness, barely any seeds, and tiny seed cavities. Yield was actually quite good, especially considering how huge the tomatoes get. Grew it in the greenhouse.
This turned out to be one of my absolute best-tasting tomatoes this past season. Big thanks to Lena N for the seeds 🌺.
Yields were about average for me, but I’m absolutely growing it again this year. Indet. Mid-season. Massive red beefsteaks running 1.1-1.5 lbs (500-700 g). Deep oblate shape, unbelievably delicious, perfectly balanced with a pronounced sweetness. Very, very few seeds in these.
Gorgeous variety, vigorous vines, great production 👋, and a long harvest window. Ran two indeterminate plants in the greenhouse with two leaders each.
The fruits are hefty, large, meaty red beefs with superb flavor 😋. My biggest one weighed in at 1.9 lbs (870 g).
Props to Sofia 27 for the seeds 🙏
