Mixed results so far with only one season to go by. The ones I planted early died so I tried it as a late season tomato and it made a good number of small and medium fruits. Taste was okay but they seemed a little too firm. Will try again next year.

This tomato is a winner. Taste is good (slightly acidic) and size is good as well. Produces lots of medium sized tomatoes throughout the hot/humid summers. Champion II is marketed as a step up from the original Champion with the same taste and production. I have not trialed Champion II yet but the original Champion is a winner.
If you Can ever find a Champion at a Nursery definatly get one. These little guys are the TASTEST tomatos on Earth. They grow strong and have good yeilds, smaller than average tomatoes but a lot of them. Grow strong into November and will produce tomatoes till they actually freeze. Great all around tomato grow em from seed every year!

I first bought "Champion" as a seedling from a small roadside nursery. Nobody seemed to know anything about it. Some kind of plant blight killed all my new plants before I even got them into the ground and the Champion was the only survivor. It recovered from the disease, gave me the first
tomatoes of the season and gave a great yield all summer. I decided I would always have a Champion in my garden and they have turned out to be a great addition-hardy, early bearers, very prolific with red medium-size fruit that is tasty and suitable for just about anything. Mine seem to keep going when all others are about played out-only a hard freeze stops them. Great all-round tomato, very forgiving.
