We are trialing close to 100 different tomato varieties this year and this week we held our first taste test of the cherry and grape tomatoes with 7 people. This tied for first place for flavor and texture among the cherry varieties we tested. We are still early in the season, but so far, we are pleased with the plant structure/health as well. Definitely will grow this one again!

I love love love this tomato! It’s been fruiting steadily for 5 months, and it’s only getting more productive and sweeter all the time. This last month, it seems to have switched its focus to fruit production almost exclusively, since the plants don’t seem to be getting much bigger (they’d gotten big enough–I topped them out at 7 feet on a Florida weave-type support, and they’d have kept going if they could), but they’re setting way more fruit than they were before. Excellent sweet flavor; very good post-harvest handling and storage. They do crack when given too much water all at once, but that’s easily solved by picking them earlier–they ripen just as well off the vine. As advertised, entirely resistant to TYLCV, which is a problem in Hawai‘i; they also weren’t affected by spider mites, which had taken over several tomatoes in the screen house, or aphids, which were all over the cucumbers right next to them, or any sort of fungus or mold, despite the fact that they’re growing very thickly intertwined. I’ll never be without them! I only wish the seeds could be saved.
