The plants grew like wildfire, but the tomatoes ... not great. I grew in a greenhouse over summer and had some outside.
They often rotted on the vine before ripening entirely, and if not they went bad very quickly.
Flavour was okay. Large 'core' inside the tomato.
Used tomato fertilizer spikes on these and other tomato plants without issue.
Too bad. I got a few plants to grow. They did not get very big. The tomatoes that formed were decimated by the birds. I wanted to buy more seeds a couple of times but they were always out of stock.
