Good Producer,
May 16, 2009 Submitted byWadester from Seabrook, TX
"Last year, I did not have much success with the Celebrity, due to excessive rainfall here in Texas. However this year, this plant produced tomatoes before I get even get the plant transplanted to the ground! The plant grows nice, big tomatoes. However, be careful with overwatering, or too much rainfall. The Celebrity did not like to be watered more than once or twice a week, yet grows like a tall vine. Give it room and a tomato cage to help give it support."

fantastic tomatoes,
March 29, 2009 Submitted byColleeflower from greenbackville
"I grew this tomato last season with fantastic results. I got a constant production of large, meaty tomatoes from both of the plants (I actually ended up giving them away by the bag-full because there were too many for us! ). They had less seeds which was nice and a subtle but good flavor. Would plant again but i don't have room, am going to try the big rainbows this year =]
only complaint about this tomato was its proneness to cracking, just watch your watering before each harvest."

An Experiment in Free Range,
January 23, 2009 Submitted byGardenGirl88 from Twin Valley, MN
"In '08 I decided to try leaving my determinate tomatoes to their own devices and not cage or stake them. Well, it came out with both good and bad results.
The bad included no ripe tomatoes until the middle of September when we should be getting them in mid-August, and they laid out on the ground like lazy dogs.
The good included a bumper crop of 12-16 ounce fruits, with hardly a blemish. I sent some home with my mom who was visiting from AZ, and she said it was better than she used to grow in our garden by Minneapolis.
I have always liked these tomatoes, but now they are a staple on that end of the garden."

Best tomato,
January 20, 2009 Submitted bybeekeeper from Barrington, IL
"This is the only tomato to grow in areas with diseases such as Tobacco Mozaic. My soil has been contaminated over the years by smokers dropping cigarette butts in the garden but still produces great tomatoes with the Celebrity plants. Beautiful fruit with as good a flavor as any tomato you might plant. If in doubt about diseases, plant this one."

Dependable Quality,
December 11, 2008 Submitted byGardenGuyCO from Western Colorado
"I've grown this in humid climates and arid climates with excellent success. Beautiful plants, but grow them for the fruit. Texture and juiciness are hard to match, and flavor is good and consistent. It is prone to cracking, so watch the watering schedule near harvest. Overall a strong, dependable variety that is quite adaptable. I always include Celebrity in my garden."

One of the better Hybrids,
December 26, 2007 Submitted byLakeErieGarden from Lorain, OH
"This used to be the best tomato of all the hybrids. Maybe it still is. Pretty good taste for a hybrid and the disease resistance is excellent. I'd compare this to a poor man's Rutger's for taste but as for the for looks, productivity and disease resistance this arguably is a top 5 tomato all time."

"This was one of my first gardens and I would not call myself even an average gardner. This tomato did fabulos dispite any lack of skill on my part. I live in west texas grew this tomato in a raised bed, didn't thin it out(I should have) and didn't stake it(I really wish I did) the plant did super, lots of really good looking fruit, great experience, I'm growing it, and some more this year, and yes I'm thinning and staking it this time. The taste was good by the way."

"I've grown 'Celebrity' for a few years, and it is a very good tasting tomato. The fruits are of uniform size and are generally free from problems. The plants could be a bit more prolific, don't expect a lot of tomatoes unless your conditions are ideal for tomatoes."
