\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> The Legend<\/strong> tomato discussed here is a determinate<\/strong> red slicer, but growers report highly inconsistent traits. While some get a tall potato leaf<\/strong> plant with large 10.5 oz (300 g) fruits, others get a rugged, dark-foliage plant with flat fruits. Despite the seed mix-ups, growers who harvested it absolutely praise its standout sweet flavor and heavy yields when grown outdoors<\/strong>. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

This one’s a super tall det, already taller than me. Got the seeds from Redko. It’s PL (potato leaf). Pumps out a ton of fruit and tastes great. Tomatoes are different sizes, up to 10.5 oz (300 g), red. Growing it for the second year now, really liking it.<\/p>\n

Not even sure if I have the real Legend? My seed pack says Legend (Canada).<\/p>\n

Couldn’t find anything online about it. But I did find this description from a tomato lover (starts with the vendor’s description, and then what actually grew. Maybe one of y’all wrote this?):<\/p>\n

Legend (Canada) – seeds received directly from the author of the blue tomato variety Bleve P20, Jim Myers. Bush is 16 inches (40 cm), no pruning needed. Fruits red, round, weighing up to 5 oz (150 g), perfectly sweet and juicy. Fruits are like billiard balls – perfectly round, very dense, pretty large if they hang on the vine a while.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anyway, mine is out in the dirt, getting partial shade under an apple tree. Really tough plant, zero disease issues. Seems like a late one. That pic is from Aug 20, just starting to ripen the first fruits. It’s about 3.3 ft (1 m) tall. Massive plant with dark foliage. Flat fruits. Still green. Honestly, looking at it, I’m not even in a rush to taste it. Got a feeling it’s gonna be bland… And it’s definitely way taller than 16 inches.<\/p>\n

First time growing Legend this year and I’m super happy I got my hands on it. The flavor completely stood out from the rest of my patch, definitely my favorite this season. Grew it outdoors and got an awesome yield.<\/p>\n

Thanks for the info, y’all. I actually have some Legend seeds in my stash. Definitely giving them a spot in the dirt this year, really liking what I’m hearing about it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
