First year growing Siletz in our container garden zone 6a central Ohio and it was a stand-out! Deliciously balanced full tomato flavor, excellent texture, healthy plant. Siletz is cold-tolerant so it produced early in the season and late into the season with a good yield of 11.5 lbs. from one plant. First harvest on 7/20, 66 days after transplant, and the last harvest on 10/7. One Siletz plant gave us 41 tomatoes! Fruits are fairly consistent in size and shape, red round, avg 4.5 oz. Two tomatoes had cracks after a rain, but the rest were virtually blemish free. We ate Siletz mostly fresh and also added to sauces. Siletz was my son's favorite this year, he gave it a 10/10. Siletz will be in our garden every year!

Tastes good, although not even close to Cherokee Purple. Just a good solid tomato. Produced lots and lots of smaller size tomatoes for me. Unfortunately, I see conflicting info online whether this is heirloom or a hybrid. Some websites say its F1, others say it is heirloom.

Hearty and flavorful, but only average sized. Very nice. Will grow these again next year.
