| Neutral | jenhillphoto | On Feb 14, 2009, jenhillphoto from Danbury, CT (Zone 6a) wrote: Very prolific. We had lots of rain this year and this tomato cracked at every rainfall, when other varieties did not. I blame the rainy season for the not so great taste. They weren't bad, but not great either. Might try to grow them again some day and hope for a sunny summer. |

Australia (Zone 10b) wrote:This tomato was in my top 3 for taste last season, out of the 40 or so varieties I grew. Fruit was firm and sweet and didnt crack like most other black/purple tomatoes do. Some plants were tall and productive while others were weak and sickly, not sure why. But Im definately giving them another try this year. |
| Neutral | berrygirl | On Mar 3, 2007, berrygirl from Braselton, GA (Zone 7b) wrote: SSE says that the original stock from this one came from Irma Henkel in the Ukraine. Excellent for the market as it doesn't crack or have bad shoulders. |
| Positive | Suze_ | On Jun 5, 2006, Suze_ from (Zone 7b) wrote: Excellent flavor -- similar in taste to many of the better dark/purple varieties. Pretty plants and fruits. Plants get very tall, and have that droopy, wispy, tentacle-like foliage common among several of the OP pastes/hearts/plums.
