    I grew this variety for the first time in 2023, inside my unheated high tunnel. Despite the name, this was the only variety to develop blossom end rot (BER) this year, and in fact is the first to develop BER since I've been growing tomatoes inside the high tunnel starting in 2017. All 18 tomato plants that I am growing this year have received the same watering and fertilizing routine, so my conclusion is that this variety is prone to BER. Even after the tomatoes were not showing any sign of rotting on the outside, when cut into nearly every one has had an area of black rot in the seed cavity. This is particularly disappointing to me because the fruits are otherwise a perfect plum shape and solid but juicy on the inside; I won't be growing this variety again.
