- LeslieVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars2/9/26Still getting tomatoes in January!
In my zone 9B garden these were prolific for most of the season. 2025 was an unusually temperate year for us and they slowed down when we had a string of foggy or hazy days.
Even though I stopped watering them, they produced well into mid-January. Slower and fewer, yes. But these kept going. It'll make me think twice in the fall when the experts are saying to pull out your summer crops in favor of fall ones. Who doesn't want a home grown tomato in December?!?

- Adam H.Rated 2 out of 5 stars12/6/25Very Prone to Cracking
These produced a ton of tomatoes but were very wasteful as they either cracked on the vine or as soon as I picked them. From my experience, the tomatoes were under pressure and the slight crack in the skin from severing the tomato from the vine was enough for that pressure to crack from top to bottom in just a couple of seconds. Ended up throwing so much out.

- Joshua H.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars11/5/25Great great Tomato’s.
Had a lot of fun learning how to grow these guys. Had 50% germination rate which is tough since these packs only come with 10 seeds. Only 3 survived long enough to produce but for me and my wife, those 3 were plenty. Hoping to replicate these results for many years to come.
