I loved the bi-color nature of this tomato...very striking. The flavor was only average and juicier than I prefer. It grew surprisingly well in a deck planter box that received no more than 6hrs direct sun.

I really enjoy this tomato - not only does it have a stunning appearance but I find that it is also very flavourful. The inside has a lovely red marbled appearance to go along with the streaks on the skin. It retains the zestiness of green zebra which I enjoy. I had some catfacing on some of the fruits, but no BER and no splitting of note. I will grow this one again.
