\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Reckless Driver Vils is a mid-late season<\/strong> pink tomato of American origin. Plants seem to stay relatively compact at around 3.3 feet (1 m) tall but are best grown pruned to two stems. It produces 7-9 oz (200-250 g) meaty, juicy fruits with a sweet flavor that has a unique kick to it. While one grower experienced early blossom drop, another noted exceptional heat tolerance with the vine setting fruit perfectly from bottom to top. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Reckless Driver Vils (USA). Got the seeds from Kulik. Grew this vine in the greenhouse. It threw a bit of a fit early on and dropped some blossoms, so the overall yield ended up just being average. Eventually it settled down and started setting fruit properly. Topped out right around 3.3 feet (1 m). The flavor is really interesting, got a nice little kick to it on the sweet side. The tomatoes are super juicy but still meaty, weighing in at about 9 oz (250 g).<\/p>\n

Absolutely loved this one this year. Grew a single plant on the sunny side of my poly greenhouse, running two stems. It set fruit right through the heat without dropping a single blossom from bottom to top. Mid-late season. I pulled 25 tomatoes off it, all weighing over 7 oz (200 g). Zero green shoulders and no hard white cores inside, just a super healthy plant. Bright pink fruits, perfectly meaty and juicy. Absolutely delicious! \ud83d\ude0b<\/p>\n
