    I grew this variety for the first time in 2022, in my unheated high-tunnel greenhouse. Although it did seem to set fruit quite early, the first ones ripened quite late, in mid September. The plant grew to about 6 feet tall and was quite "open," by which I mean not very bushy. The flavor was good, and the tomatoes were red all the way through and quite juicy. I probably will not grow again, due to the lateness of ripening; however, this may have just been an anomaly with this particular plant.
