Has anyone ever grown or heard of a tomato called 'Bill Bean'? It's a slicer that's supposed to be large and very tasty. I can find little information on it.

It looks superficially like Neves Azorian Red. Interesting!

It's been on my to-grow list for a good while, now--but I haven't grown it, yet; and I haven't purchased seeds.

It's the largest tomato that Seed Treasures sells:

[mention]Shule[/mention] , that's where I saw it as I do get a few things from Jackie. She said it's been her go-to tomato for a long time and I was wondering if anyone else had experience with it. I think I'll add it to my list for next year.
