This is the first time I have planted the Super Sioux and it produces a lot of tennis-ball sized fruit. I have it in a pot that gets morning sun, a break midday and then afternoon sun, which at this time of year in the lower desert (zone 10b) is good for the plants. Lots of fruit on an about 4 foot tall plant. Lets me know when it needs water by getting droopy at the top. Fruit is meaty with a slight tart taste. Used only in salads so far, but definitely will plant again.

Nice sweet, tomato-ey flavor. A bit smaller than the write-up suggests, but would definitely grow again.

I will grow this again for the third year in a row. Wonderful tomato for the deep south. Very prolific with a great flavor!

Seeds sprouted easily and plants grew abundantly but with our temps. At 100F for several weeks, the blossoms dropped and fruit didn't set well til late in the season. The flavor was pretty bland which was very disappointing as I grew this because the description said old-time tart flavor. Will try something different this year.

Super Sioux was one of the first heirlooms and hot dry climate tomatoes I ever grew and they normally do extremely well, this year being an exception but then again, we had almost two months straight of temperatures over 100F. A few miles away from us is about 5F cooler so this summer's temps there were like ours are normally and all the friends we gave these to in that area are tickled pink because their Super Siouxs are going like gang-busters while the usual tried and true varieties aren't doing anything but dropping blossoms because of the heat. This tomato is a great size for canning and has excellent flavor so makes an awesome slicer too. (I'm fond of them stuffed with tuna salad or sliced on fried or scrambled eggs.) I also like adding them to blander paste tomatoes to add some zip to sauces.
