Worst tomato ever,
September 16, 2009 Submitted byJackal from Piscataway
"Although a nice idea, not worth the time or effort.
Planted 8 seeds got three plants. Other varieties of tomato had over 90 % germination rates. Plants grew slowly, producing several small tomatoes most of which sucumbed to blosom end rot where as no other tomato varieties had any BER. All the seedless tomatoes though appearing red ripe on the outside had a green interior with a very inferior flavor much like the cardboard tasting tomatoes in the grocery store in winter.
Will definitely not waste any garden space or effort on this variety next year!"

Nothing to Write Home About,
September 15, 2009 Submitted byOHOrganic from Rural Ohio
"A friend gave us a plant of Sweet Seedless to trial amongst our 104+ tomato plants on our organic farm. We grow almost all heirlooms but are willing to make space for the occasional hybrid such as the ever wonderful Sungold Cherry or another that is likely to be something special.
While the Sweet Seedless plant grew nearly as tall as the others in the beds, it was not as vigorous, and the production was rather sparse. Initial tomatoes were larger then size dropped off as the season progressed, basically changing from 8-10 oz. fruit to 3-4 oz. ones. Flavor was okay but nothing to write home about, and texture tended a little toward mealiness.
If you cannot have seeds and are unwilling to remove the seeds yourself on regular tomatoes, it is an option, but if you are looking for quintessential rich ripe tomato flavor, try another variety."

Disappointing,
September 11, 2009 Submitted byluvSummer from Central Ohio
"I had no problem with getting the seeds to germinate this spring. I started them indoors in late April and got a bunch of healthy seedlings. The mature plants were small, but stocky. The fruit set well, but ripened slowly-- probably due to our cooler than normal summer here. Also had a problem with blossom end rot on this variety but not on the other two varieties I grew this year. My main complaint with these tomatoes is that the gel where the seeds would be is a very unappetizing shade of green. The taste of the tomatoes is just ordinary-- not much better than store-bought this time of year. In addition, my husband won't eat these tomatoes at all unless I scrape all the gel out first, which is way too much trouble. I won't purchase these again."

Please forgive me!,
September 6, 2009 Submitted byBlueberryMuffet from Rural Northeast OH
"...for not believing your product description! I thought I would be sacrificing taste for the benefit of a seedless tomato (I cannot eat seeds), but the flavor is full,rich & sweet. Even though my plants experienced early blight, the fruits were picture-perfect; just the right size, & sliced beautifully."

Tomatoes are wonderful!,
August 31, 2009 Submitted bySusannah
"This has to be the best tasting tomato plant we have ever grown. My son-in-law says it has the sweetness of a cherry tomato. I say...they are just plain wonderful. I ordered the plants instead of the seeds. They were strong and sturdy and in good shape when they arrived. The fruit seemed to take a little longer to produce because we have had a cold and rainy summer here. But once they started producing.....we were even able to freeze some! The first tomatoes were huge . Now, after three weeks of picking , the tomatoes are about average to medium size. But they are so sweet. I would recomend this tomato to any one who can not eat seeds. That is why we ordered the New Sweet Seedless Tomato. Please continue with this variety. It is absolutely wonderful. I will be ordering twice as many next spring.
Oh, and we had no problems with bugs or diseases.
Thank you for offering these."

Seedless,
August 28, 2009 Submitted bySmoke from Irwin, PA
"Highly disease prone, insides are green where seeds were, most of them rot on the vine or have big ugly spot on them, only about 10% of blossums get tomatoes on them even with blossum set. They are also tasteless. Very bad tomato!"

Best Tomato plants EVER!,
August 15, 2009 Submitted byStuart from Central Oklahoma
"I ordered the seedless because of a medical condition that keeps me from eating seeds. I thought there would be some draw back to the seedless. To my surprise these plants are regularly setting 50-60 tomatoes per plant. Even when the temps have gone well over 100 on 2 different times they still crank out the new blossoms. My 12 plants have been supplying 20+ friends with all the tomatoes they want for the last month and they still show no signs of letting up. Just make sure they are never thirsty and keep those branches tied up the the plants will amaze you. Here's some pictures of the plants back on June 28th before they really started getting big."

Did not grow well in Florida,
August 15, 2009 Submitted bythecreativegardener from Northern Florida
"I started the plants from seed (less than 10 in packet). Only 3 plants germinated. When I set them out in my vegetable garden, they did not survive the heat and humidity like other tomato plants bred to survive these conditions. What few tomatoes I did get were small and uneditable."

Delicious!,
August 10, 2009 Submitted byLovetogarden from Limerick
"I purchased the seeds for the seedless tomatoes. Used all seeds in the pack, a bit difficult germinated - about 4 of the plants had a funny look to them. After starting inside about March they were successfully transplanted - about 10 plants made it to the garden. They are a much shorter plant then regular tomatoes but they were easy to tie up. Since I started early the tomatoes set up last month and I've been harvesting for about three weeks now. Fruit sets up a dark green but turns to orange very quickly - tieing up the vines and picking frequently have keep the crop going. We got a huge crop and they are so sweet and delicious - I even eat them while I'm picking! Will definitely grow these again next year."

A little let down,
July 25, 2009 Submitted bynomaters4me from Three Rivers, MI
"I have grown Burpee seeds all my life growing up with my Father always having very large gardens always containing tons of tomatoes so when I heard of the sweet seedless tomatoes by Burpee I thought they would be a sure winner! Much to my disappointment I ordered my seeds online 2 packets of them so I got 20 seeds and paid close to twenty dollars after shipping and handling.....only to end up with 5 plants that germinated and I am still waiting to see fruit form from the blossoms. Maybe I will end up with at least one tomatoe from the 5 plants as some plants are not even producing blooms and the plants that have are not producing fruit, I am sorry Burpee but this is not a winner in my book. ;-("

A new venture,
July 21, 2009 Submitted bySiouxie from Poconos Mtns. PA
"My husband has some diet restrictions and cannot eat seeds. When I saw the advertisement for this new seedless tomato, I had to give it a try for him. I ordered 6 plants, they arrived and were planted a few days later in containers. They really took off growing nicely, flowers began to grow and a few tomatoes started to form. Then, some sort of critter decided to make a number of the flowers its dinner. The containers were raised up off the deck. I found some difficulty with three plants growing, like they stopped growing in height, thick stems becoming into a Y shape, not many flowers after that. I have the opportunity to move the plants to more sunnier location which has helped. No critter, more sun and more flowers are now forming. 4 - 5 tomatoes on the plants now are still green and about 3-4 inches in size. Maybe the rain here in NE PA has been an issue with the height, about 3 - 3.5 feet tall is all they have grown. Can't wait to pick a fresh from the vine ripe tomato and bite into it. I'm hopeful they will get taller and more bushier as I've seen tomato plants get. I wonder if they are this way due to it's being a hybrid."

disappointing sweet seedless,
July 12, 2009 Submitted bysalkenn from Lexington, KY
"I've grown all my veges from seed for over 20 years and Burpee has always been a seed source of choice, so when I read about the new seedless tomato (actually, my mother made me do it!) I thought I'd give it a whirl. Half of the seeds didn't germinate, and some of those that did were a little weeny. Out of 8 seeds planted, I got 4 healthy seedlings. I planted one of those when it got big enough, and gave away the other three. It's now mid-July, and there are about 5 tomatoes (green) on the plant, but the plant itself is less than 2 ft tall. The tomato plants around it are over 5 feet tall. Maybe this is normal for this seedless tomato, and I'd like to hear from others who have started it from seed and gotten it into the fruiting stage. Still waiting for the green ones to ripen. People who grow tomatoes have to be always optimistic...."

Excellent Tasting Tomato,
July 3, 2009 Submitted byValar8 from Southern California
"I tried these from seed for the first time this season. The plant does not get as tall as some of the regular varieties of tomatoes and the tomatoes don't get very big but boy do they taste good! This plant started bearing fruit long before the other varieties I planted. I will grow these again next year."

Seedless Tomatoes - worth planting!,
June 25, 2009 Submitted byrburk from Central Florida
"I planted 3 seedless tomato plants in earthboxes in mid April. The plants adapted well to the outside environment on my patio in central Florida. They are healthy, and profusely produce flowers and set fruit, Tomatoes range in size from about 3 inches in diameter to slightly larger than 4 inches.
The fruit is tasty, not as great as some, but definitely good tomatoes. The absence of seeds is a plus. There are tiny dots in the areas where seeds usually appear but they are not formed as seeds.
The plants are highly productive, As I write this they are covered with tomatoes and blossoms.
New tomatoes form at the tips of the branches. once the ripe tomatoes have been picked there is no further growth in that area. So, the bottom of the plant becomes bare, as the top continues to produce fruit.
I have harvested at least 5 to 10 tomatoes from each plant so far and they are still loaded with fruit.
They do best when allowed to ripen on the vine. If picked too early they have pithy yellow cores which do not "ripen" but have to be cut out. When present the core is not huge, but ruins the nice big slices at the top of the tomato.
One drawback, once ripe the shelf life is very short. Like 24 hours. If left on the counter, even in my air-conditioned house, much longer than that, the tomato quickly becomes mushy and past it's prime.
They take well to refrigeration, it seems to stop them from becoming overripe and, unlike others, they don't become grainy.
I am uploading 2 photos of the plants, taken today. I did not upload a picture of a cut tomato because they look exactly as pictured in Burpee's Catalog.
Ruth"

Blossoms don't set but fall off,
June 13, 2009 Submitted bySendai from Marietta, GA
"I grew these tomatoes from Burpee seed. Six out of the ten seeds germinated. I planted two plants and gave the other four away to see how they would do in different growing conditions. My plants have grown vigorously with thick stalks. The only problem I have is that the plant produced over fifty blossoms but none have set to become tomatoes. In the same garden I have Burpee's Better Boy Hybrid and Burpee's Sun Gold Cherry tomato. All my Better Boy and Sun Gold have tomatoes. All blossoms have set. The growing conditions are the same for the Seedless, BB, and SG. Why the Seedless will not produce tomatoes, I don't know."

Good preformer,
June 4, 2009 Submitted byTomtheEarthboxGardener
"My 3 seedless tomato plants arrived packaged well. I gave them several days inside the house to recover from shipment.
I planted 2 of my Burpee Seedless Tomato plants in an Earthbox. I also planted 2 of my old stand by Better Boy tomato plants in another Earthbox. All of my Burpee's tomato plants survived and are doing well.
Side by side I think the seedless is producing as many tomatoes as the Better Boy. the plants are healthy and loaded with fruit. The tomatoes haven't ripened as of today so I haven't tasted then yet. I figure a couple more weeks and they'll be ready to harvest. I will update this review when that happens."

"I followed all of the instructions from Burpee regarding the transition from shipping to outdoor planting, but they died three days after planting. It's a shame too, I was really looking forward to them this year, and Burpee has always provided the best live plants and seeds for all of the years I have been growing my garden. All other plants within that shipment are growing at a fantastic rate."

New seedless tomato variety,
December 31, 2008 Submitted bykimr from Northern California
"In response to the review by WAAY from California, they do mention that it has a full package of disease resistance. So one can assume it will resist most if not all the usual tomato diseases. As for size-it's bigger than a cherry tomato and smaller than a beefsteak.........lol. It looks to me to be around the size of an early girl or maybe a bit smaller. But my point in writing this review was to say this; plant one or two or more of these and try them out. That's the best way to find out all you need to know and see if you like them or not. I like to try new varieties and keep track of my reactions for future years. As for this one-it sounds wonderful! If it turns out as it says-imagine no more seeding tomatoes before using them for sauces, recipes, etc! That would be wonderful. So, I'll try it and see if I like it. My rating above is for the seedless part-only time will tell if it earns a true 5 'leaf' rating."
