SKU: 3403551We planted these in a smaller, new garden area between our house and pool. We had sporadic, sometimes heavy rainfall this year plus a lot of very dry weather when we watered with a well. Naturally we experienced some cracking but it was expected under the conditions. These plant's weren't bothered by the heat. The tomatoes were sometimes double and huge! When single, they were a good size and blooming and production continues thru 100 degree weather. I've grown these before and will continue to do so. The tomato is full of tart/sweet flavor and the plants produced many of them. Everyone we've shared with want more. The unique color just adds to the fun!
We tend to get heavy rainfall off and on all summer here, resulting in many tomato varieties I've tried getting too much anthracnose to bear well. Loxton Lad was the worst tomato I tried to grow for these conditions in 2023, probably due to its thin skin. I never actually managed to harvest a mature tomato to try, so I can't speak to the flavor. I wound up using them all green instead. They were good sized, and would probably be great for someone with less summer rain.
This tomato has a wonderful flavor and did very well in my North Texas garden. The yield was good for being a dwarf. It was my favorite tomato of 2017.
