Happy with this variety. For a long time I was looking for vegetables that would have large fruits, I planted different varieties, but not a single vegetable suited me completely. I read the description and reviews on the Internet and decided to plant this species at home. I have been growing tomatoes for two years now and am very pleased with the yield and taste characteristics. This is the best variety I have ever grown. Now I will grow it constantly until I get tired of it. I recommend it.
