★★★★★ Great taste, very early in hoop house
By D. An (Shippensburg, PA) on August 1, 2025

I planted these in our hoop house in April (zone 6B), under a 2nd cover (mini hoop house within the hoop house), with a very small heater that turned on if it neared freezing. I didn't record the date, but the fruit started ripening very early (probably early June), & as of August 1st we are still eating them. They are very good—not tasteless like store tomatoes. I noticed someone was upset they weren't seedless, & they had other tomatoes in the garden. My understanding is that with parthenocarpic tomatoes the earliest fruits may be seedless. They'll probably have seeds if insects cross the flowers with other nearby tomatoes.This is so worth growing if only to hold you over until later tomatoes start producing!

★☆☆☆☆ not seedless
By Disappointed (Michigan) on October 6, 2024

plants were stunted despite being kept inside in sun until some 6" tall. grew to 1/3 to 1/2 height of other tomatoes in garden. produced less than 1/3 the fruit of other tomato plants in garden and these were about 1/3 the size of other tomatoes. wanted seedless tomatoes for person in household with diverticulosis, but these had no fewer seeds than other tomatoes in the garden
