One of the best!
I love the taste of these and the Caspian Pink tomatoes. They are my favorites for fresh eating on salads and for BLTs. I also make BBTs (bacon, basil, and tomatoes) with them. So yummy!

Best tomatoe ever!
My family agrees that this is the best tasting tomato ever! I planted two of these plants for the first time in my life. I wished I'd planted ten more. These were planted at the fire station where I work and my crew couldn't keep their hands off of them. The beefsteak, early girls where left behind the cherokee purple. I'm still harvesting in September and the plants still have blossoms. I will definitely plant again next year.
