"These delectable tomatoes also ripen early for so large a fruit. The determinate plants set very heavy crops, even in hot weather. Strong disease resistance. Ready to harvest in 68 days. Burpee exclusive. Sorry, state laws prohibit shipping plants to Alaska, Hawaii, Arizona, California, Nevada. Determinate.

"If I was told I could only plant one tomato, this would be it. One plant produced more tomatoes than my family could eat. I gave away tons to happy family and friends. I ate then everyday! I can not wait until spring to start gardening again. Just fabulous."

"I have grown these at least 5 years in a row and they perform solidly here in North Texas. I grow from seed, and then get them out as early as possible. They are always the strongest of the many varieties I plant, they produce better, and they have large tasty low-acid fruit. Also they never get end-rot. And as an added bonus the birds leave the fruit alone because of the color !"

"This tomato reminds me of my childhood and I could not be more pleased. The plants are amazing and the yield is abundant. I have recommended this tomato to several of my fellow gardeners and everyone who has tried them, loves them! The fruit is perfect and I've had such a bumper year that most of my neighbors and co-workers have had the opportunity to sample them, as well. I'll be growing these from now on!"

"well.. other people seem to like this plant. i guess i like more of a kick in my tomato. This was a little too bland for me. The plant is unstoppable, setting fruit in the peak of summer when neither of my heilooms would."

"I am not usually a fan of hybrids. I prefer heirloom or at least open pollinated as a matter of principle. The Sweet Tangerine tomato is my big exception. They have a real burst of flavor without being too acidic. I could just eat them all day long. Home made bread, home made mayonnaise, fresh cooked bacon and a sweet tangerine tomato- and lots of paper towels. Please don't ever discontinue this tomato."
