It did, but seemed to dry up toward the end of August, while other tomato plants went on for another month. Although it's acidic tang was ok in salads, other small varieties have a much better taste. | | Positive | deuteros | On Jun 9, 2008, deuteros from Roswell, GA (Zone 7b) wrote: The one thing that sets this tomato plant apart from the others is its sheer size. Be sure to give this plant *lots* of room. When I set my plant out in the middle of April it was about a foot tall. By the end of May it had already outgrown its 5 foot cage and was sprawling in every direction. I had to cut the tops off all the vines just to keep it under control.
This variety is also extremely productive. Each truss will produce about 25 marble sized tomatoes. There are over 1,000 tomatoes on the plant already and there's still many months of growth ahead.
The tomatoes themselves are very acidic with good flavor. |
