    I always grow some of these in addition to S. Marzano, Polish Linguisa ecc. They do well in a short season with less than ideal conditions. They seem immune to blossom-end rot and are reliably prolific. They keep very well, whether on the plant or after picking. I pick them over a period of days until I have enough for a large batch of passata. When everything else fails, these always come through.

    growing in large pots in hawaii, these produced a modest number of dryish, tasteless tomatoes on plants that succumbed to dusty mildew. we've had good crops from other varieties, and maybe this one's just not for our conditions.

  • Indomitable paste tomato! 5

    Fabulous producer on short semi-determinant plants. The first flush makes these bushes look like they are covered in Easter eggs. Covered. Totally. The plants continued to set lighter flushes until frost here (Think Thanksgiving) These plants out performed any other paste & shook off the numerous foliage and insect-borne diseases prevalent in our hot, humid but droughty climate. Fruit is tasty - drier but very edible sliced for salads. Cooked up is where these maters shine. They add enough pectin to mix with cherry tomatoes (& whatever else ripe) in the garden to make great sauce & salsa for the winter. Can't say enough good things about them - great for container growing - loved life in 5 gallon buckets. Mainstay in our garden & the gardens of local friends.
