    This is my 2nd year for growing this tomato. It is a super star in my garden. Last year, we had a horrible drought; this year, we had a very cool/rainy summer for much of the growing season. This tomato has outperformed most of the others in my garden both years. The fruits are large, meaty and have a great flavor. Have had no issues with diseases. Plants have been among my most productive. This will be a repeat in my garden!

    75 days. From Poland, this tomato has vigorous potato-leaved foliage and produces 1-pound, ribbed, flattened, meaty, intensely flavored fruits.

    I grew this tomato for the first time this year. I did not find it to be a very productive tomato although the taste was very good. My fruits were just average or small in size. It is a pink color with green shoulders. It did ripen fairly early in the season for me.
