    I don't grow many hybrids, but this one really intrigued me. I was not disappointed--this plant was hardy and productive. The fruits were huge--most weighed 12-16oz, even in a year that we had a cool, wet summer. The tomatoes were so meaty--very hard to find any seeds or gel. The taste was great--I expected they might be a mealy texture but they were not. They made an amazing sauce, and they even were fine to use fresh (were great on pizza!). I will definitely grow this one again.
