| Negative | dcornelius | On Jan 22, 2011, dcornelius from Corrigan, TX wrote: Very, very vigourous plants but little if any fruit produced. What was produced was mealy and had no taste. Perhaps to hot in East Texas for this variety. Sorry Hillbilly, I won't try you again. |
| Positive | sugarpine | On Jan 11, 2011, sugarpine from San Jose, CA wrote: Very nice tomato. For me, it was very productive, and tasted very sweet and fruity. All my friends and family enjoyed them. |
| Positive | pestee42 | On Mar 16, 2010, pestee42 from Molino, FL (Zone 8b) wrote: I grew yellow hillbilly last year. It did really well. Nice healthy plants with a good amount of large fruit. I loved the taste too, just sliced and sprinkled with salt. I'm growing more from seed for this year, 2010. |

| Positive | SLO_Garden | On Jun 17, 2008, SLO_Garden from San Luis Obispo, CA wrote: Hillbilly has a place in my garden every year. It has a wonderful sweet flavor, striking appearance, and produces like crazy all season. Anyone that I know that has ever tasted it loves it. It has no drawbacks other than the bugs like to eat it too. |
| Positive | carduus | On Nov 18, 2006, carduus from Cuyahoga Falls, OH wrote: It was beefy and a decent tomato for what it is, a red-striped yellow beefsteak. However, it takes so long to get a tomato to full ripeness that you really need to either grow it several zones south of where I'm at (Northern Ohio, zone 5), or start it indoors in January. As it was, I only got about three tomatoes from this plant before the frost. |
