I have had a lot of success with Cuostralee. The tomatoes are large to super-huge with good flavor. The plant is fairly prolific, and I haven't had any problems with disease. I have grown it a few times and will grow it again.

This is a great red beefsteak type, with terrific flavor. Produces fairly well for me. Frequently misspelled as 'Coustralee'.
