Anyone grown it? Educate me!

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!

Wish I had read this before I ordered seeds the other day hmm guess will see how they do

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....

Agreed on that one I order from seeds and such

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.
