Grew them in Pittsburgh in the 1970s. Fairly good crops there and good firm taste.

Locally I saw the plants for sale for the 1st time but they were labeled Italian tree tomato.
The plant didn't do well here.
It was just trip l crop renamed.

Not impressed by claims of plant height, I’ve got a season of around 360 days, so any plant can get tall for me. The seed sellers seem to be pretty scarce on details re: fruit size shape etc.

I dont remember it being all that impressive. Mine were medium pink tomatoes with ok flavor. There are a lot of pink heart shaped tomatoes that I think would probably yield better if that is what you are after.

If you go to Roots & Refuge Farm's You Tube page, Jess talks about that variety a lot in several of her tomato growing and seed selection videos. She highly recommends it.

I have not yet successfully germinated it, and I've become impatient in my middle age. I don't like to devote time or energy to varieties that don't produce, let alone those i cannot get off the ground.

I agree with the others here and absolutely agree with you JosephineRose on the hard pass. It is nothing special tastewise or unique in height or form, and quite frankly was a waste of growing space in my garden. I have been watching a lot of youtube garden vlogs during the pandemic, and the large "content farmers" are always looking to promote novelty topic to increase their views. I am thankful for the honest opinions we have on this site to help make informed decisions!

I ordered seeds for this variety a couple of months ago from Totally Tomatoes. I'll report back here next season on whether it lives up to the hype, or not....

After reading about this on the Mandy's Greenhouse site, I considered growing it. It looks like there are a few different varieties. If you do grow one, would like to hear your results.
