I got a pack of Abbittista seeds from delectation of tomatoes. When he grew it, it took more than 100 days to ripen from transplant and had small tomatoes at a third of a pound. This conflicts with renascence seeds who say that it is very large and took 85 days

For those of you who have grown it, what was it like?

Mine didn't take 100 days, they were more in the 80 day range. Also they were good sized for a paste, maybe 8 to 10 oz. I don't know if we actually weighed any. They were typically bigger than a Gilbertie, which we grew alongside them.

Delectation of Tomatoes may have mixed up the description with another tomato or it may be that the plant he's describing was in a poor location.

Here's what ours looked like.

Terry at Secret Seed Cartel also describes this as a large paste tomato. Perhaps it is @SEAMSFASTER at Delectation who grew the wrong seed. It happens. If he grew it the year that he moved he could easily have missed catching it.
