    I had high expectations for this plant, as it was developed locally; I was not disapointed! It THRIVED in the heat spells of our climate, continuing to set fruit...And the fruit was very juicy, with a good flavor. I regretted having to cut it down in the beginning of Sept. (personal reasons) as it seemed to be ramping up production, with many green and almost ripe fruit still on the vine. I will DEFINITELY grow this again; I'm eagerly anticipating its completing the season (allowing those many wonderful fruits still on the vine to ripen!).

    A new entry from Randy Garner to the mountain series. Has good resistance to Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus. Also has some resistance to early and late blight. A large-fruited fresh-market variety on large determinate vines. It has held up well here. Not as large as Amelia or Mountain Pride, but productive when exposed to TSWV.
