Anyone grown this variety? I received a few seeds as an extra freebie when ordering some other seeds. All I have read is that it is a Potato Leaf, late red beefsteak. If you have grown it, what did and didn’t you like about it?

I have grown it the last 3 years in a row. That I have regrown it for two years should tell you something LOL! It's going to be in my garden again this year also. It's such a fine tasting and super productive tomato on such a nice strong vine and it always produces right up until almost the last week that I have a garden at all. Just plant it!

I have some of these seeds too. Now after reading Marsha's glowing praises, I will have to try it. I trust her opinion. Her taste buds and mine usually agree. :D

@zendog has grown it, and is the one who told me about it:
viewtopic.php?p=48854#p48854

I hear it's related to Aker's West Virginia. I haven't tried it, yet (but it's on my wishlist).

It looks like @Old chef has grown it, too:

I only see it for sale in two places:
- https://www.delectationoftomatoes.com/s ... _Faux.html
- https://renaissancefarms.org/product/li ... ux-tomato/

Okay, I finally broke down and bought it. It's on my growlist for 2026.
