Heavy crop, excellent flavour. [ Forunate with the weather this summer]. Fruit looks excellent (would be VG for showing), slight inclination to be tiny bit unripe at stalk ends, hence only 4 stars.
Mixed feelings

I grew these in grow bags in the greenhouse. The plants were vigorous, easily reaching the roof with six or seven trusses of nine to ten quite large fruits. The fruits were evenly coloured and looked excellent, ideal I guess for showing. However that's where the positives end:
The trusses were so heavy that every one had to be supported to prevent it breaking.
The taste was disappointingly weak, almost watery.
The skins were tough and the green bit inside at the stalk end was woody and had to be cut out.
Overall, a beautiful looking tomato that was a pain to grow due to all the support needed, and just didn't deliver in the kitchen. I'll try a different one next year.
