An absolutely excellent heirloom tomato—firm, meaty, 3" oblong fruits with few seeds, on compact vines that are very productive. As a determinate type, most of the fruits ripen at the same time, which makes this tomato a good choice for canning. In areas with a long growing season, a second planting will double your harvest!

    The seeds germinated easily and the seedlings are very healthy. I transplanted them 2 weeks ago and they are growing strong and healthy. I only planted 4 of them.

    Nice little plant for my raised bed garden. Loaded with fruit and compact. I am growing three of this variety and they are easily trained using a single stick for support. Can't wait till they ripen! Planning to can sauce. I have grown other roma varieties, but so far this is the variety I have had the best results with.

    The seeds had a great germination rate and grew very quickly! They were my favorite tomato plants of the season and I wish I had taken photos of them in their prime. Purchased another seed packet just to make sure I had enough for next year’s garden! I’ve made the fruit into 60 pints of salsa and 12 quarts of stewed tomatoes and can’t wait for next year.
