    I originally started to just grow heirlooms but decided to try this one simply because it was on sale. Were we ever surprised! It was super productive with a nice acidity that reminded me of tomatoes I ate growing up. A bit smaller tomato but the amount of fruit it set more than made up for it. We now grow this one every year.
