76 dtm; "An excellent roma tomato known for its vigor and uniformity. Bright red, meaty fruits are large, 5 to 8 ounces, and full of flavor."
2022: TT
These became infected with some sort of disease early in the season of 2022 (grown in my smaller hoop house) but were still very productive of nice-size plum tomatoes; may give this variety another chance in a different location.

Burpee 2021
2022: Growing from a volunteer seedling in the HH; it was surprisingly productive, even with the late start - and one of our favorites in terms of flavor.
Best flavor when it is light pink, even when it has hints of green.
2023: Growing again from my own saved seeds, very productive and quite tall for a determinate variety. The tomatoes have excellent flavor!

2016: Baker's Creek
"70-80 days. Determinate. Fantastic yields of richly flavorful plum-shaped tomatoes on compact plants that require very little staking! Resistant to early blight, reliable for home or market gardens! The paste-type fruits weigh in at 2-3 ounces, dry-fleshed and very meaty with few seeds. Great for sauces, salsas and pastes."

Growing in 2016 for first time, in hoophouse; started early, planted in late April. First ripe fruit picked on 8/18/16.

Grown from seeds from the Whitinger family

70 dtm; "short, compact and bushy, determinate plants that yield large trusses of red, elongated, sausage-shaped, paste tomatoes. Milano Plum tomatoes have firm flesh with very delicious sweet flavor. A perfect sauce tomato."
2022: Tomatofest
Grew well for me in 2022 but didn't like them as well as some other varieties of paste tomatoes; might give them another try in a year or two.

2021: my seed saved in 2019
Plant seemed more susceptible to wilt than most others, which curtailed production when I grew it outside; grows extremely well in my high tunnel
