    This is my first year growing this F1 hybrid. It is similar in size and shape to the hybrid 'Roma'. It is also a deep red in skin color with reportedly (from several sources and the plant label itself) twice as much lycopene than other cultivars. Lycopene is said to be a powerful antioxidant, supporting healthy immune function of the body.

    Came on early, producing well, and beautiful to look at. Uniform size and shape. Keeps well after picking. A firm tomato.

    But no taste!! If you like the type of tomato the stores have off season, this may be for you. It will NOT be taking up garden space in my garden next year.
