★★★★★ A total star

I grew this last yr first time. I was blown away. My plant yielded huge huge light yellow fruit on & on & on. This is not determinate! The fruit was very meaty and juicy. And what a taste. I think the description of bright is good. It's oh so good. I called the local grower to see where I could buy it here. Found it! So happy for another year. Mine grew a bit taller & took longer to bear because it had morning shade. Last yr it was an unknown to me so I put it in the worst growing space. Produced later that my full sun plants but then on until the Nov freeze.

Among the dwarfs I've found this to be one of the most trouble free (when grown in challenging conditions), highest yielding, attractive and tasty. Plenty of medium sized, smooth, oblate medium yellow tomatoes are produced that have pale yellow interiors. The flavor is so well balanced and delightful that it needs to be in everyone's garden.
