The Bison tomato is a complex tomato that has great flavor. Bison is very hardy and despite my own mistakes seed starting this plant pulled through.

I purchased Bison while shopping for a non-cherry tomato plant that is compact enough to grow on an Aerogarden - Max. height 24 inches. Bison has performed very well - planted on 12/31/20, first harvest on 4/5/21. Most recently, today - 5/29/21 with more tomatoes on the way. Fruit is approx 2-inches in diameter and weighs 2.5 ounces. Best flavor if you let the fruit ripen on the plant until the color is a deep red.
