"Oblate 12–16 oz fruits blush lightly yellow and develop an amber-pink tinge on the blossom end when ripe. Don't allow them to get too soft before picking. The green flesh of this beefsteak is faintly marbled with pink. Flavor sweet and tart, rich and spicy. The central large tomatoes are the best. Flavor deteriorates when cold weather sets in."
1st grown in 2015; excellent flavor, beautiful color, productive.

"This is a variety that Kent Whealy brought back from Russia on one of his collecting trips. It first became available in 1995. It is regular leaf plant, matures very early, good sized (five to eight ounces) oblate shaped, yellow (not golden or orange) fruit with bright yellow interiors and a nice tart taste."
Prefer Djena Lee's Golden Girl; will not grow again.

Although these plants were supposed to be only a couple of feet tall, mine grew to 4-5 feet ! Very productive, good flavor.

"these extremely compact, determinate plants tend to creep rather than grow tall and would be perfect in a hanging basket or patio container. "
2016: growing in HH; definitely was NOT "extremely compact" for me, growing to at least 6' tall inside the hoop house. Very productive and early (started to ripen in July), but the tomatoes tended to have hard yellow shoulders. Tomatoes were about the size of a golf ball.

Weight of the 2 tomatoes is 1 pound 7-3/4 ounces, an average of a

" dwarf, compact, determinate plants that were listed in the McFayden Seed Catalog as a "self-pruning," and needing no staking. Plants produce huge amounts of 2-3", red, round tomatoes that have exceptional, rich, complex and slightly acidic flavors. This is a great canning and salad tomato. Produces well in cooler damp weather, greenhouse or containers."
Grew in 2015 inside hoophouse; produced well but had hard spots near shoulders, not the best flavor.

" large, sprawling, indeterminate, regular-leaf, vigorous tomato plants that yield abundant crops in huge clusters of 1", round, deep purple, mahogany-brown cherry tomatoes. Fruits are irresistibly delicious with sweet, rich, complex, full tomato flavors that burst in your mouth"
Productive, but flavor is just okay to me; likely will not grow again.

"iridescent 5–7 oz garnet-colored globe-shaped fruits are among the most uniformly handsome in the tomato kingdom."
Not producing very well and many of the tomatoes have bad spots; will not grow again.

" indeterminate, vigorous, potato-leaf plants that yield copious amounts of 2", 4 oz, fruits that are deep-red color, inside and out. Five to nine fruits per cluster with a rich heirloom tomato flavor. Plant produces well until frost. A good tomato variety for cooler growing regions since fruits ripen quickly." Potato-leaf type
2023: I continue to try to like this variety, but despite the fact that the tomatoes are delicious, and early, it just is not very productive for me.

"vigorous, indeterminate, regular-leaf tomato plants that yield
exceptionally large crops of mahogany (brick-red) brown colored, 1-inch, round, open-pollinated cherry tomatoes. The Brown Berry cherry tomato has excellent semi-sweet , rich flavors with just a slight bit of acid finish over it's fruity sweetness. Very Juicy!"

One of my favorites for quite some time, did not do as well for me the last 2 years that I grew it.
"smooth, round, deep red fruits weighing up to 1 lb. Color is consistent from the skin straight through the center. Flesh is firm and juicy, packed with "real tomato" flavor."

A prolific producer

" Meaty bright red fruits are nearly as firm as Roma types and are quite crack resistant. Vigorous plants set loads of fruits in long trusses for a long season that begins early, and due to a very high level of disease resistance, continues right up until frost. "

Very productive, somewhat thick skin.
2021: Burpee
These never grew to their usual size of somewhat larger than a golf ball in 2022, they stayed very small and were not very productive. (Other varieties growing nearby had no problems.)
