really good taste, well balanced between acid and sweet. Not terribly productive in Michigan

Many huge solid delicious tomatoes. Very meaty, mild flavor.

This is big and meaty! It’s flavorful, and a real beauty. They produced really well for me in the Phx AZ. The seedlings were one of the fastest-growing and strongest out of the 30 varieties I grew last year. If you are looking for a good introduction into a Turkish variety of tomato, this is it!

Glad to hear it did well in Phx. So I’ll give it a try in Albuquerque. The Turkish tomatoes give some of the best flavor in our arid conditions.
