Negative KCorley On Jun 15, 2012, KCorley from Houston, TX wrote:

Fruits were beautifully-colored red with ridges along the shoulder. Unfortunately, they were somewhat tough, with flavor that was very close to tastelessness. One of the only homegrown tomatoes that nobody wanted to eat.

Plants did wonderful here. Very large tasty tomatoes, and very productive.
