Not long after I planted it in one of my raised beds, it started to set blossoms. My plant didn't live long enough to judge productivity though. Our heat set in much earlier this year than usual and I lost all of the plants I had in raised beds. Some that I had in earthboxes survived. The few tomatoes I harvested before I lost the plant were great.
It sets fruit early, not late and my tomatoes were what I'd call small to medium size. Trying to find seed for this variety has been difficult. Everyone seems to be out of stock.
