All those things may be true but I was not overly happy with my results from 20 plants last year. The tiny tomatoes are scattered here and there on the very vegetative plants making picking a time consuming ordeal. With other cherry varieties I can fill a gallon container in 5 minutes but it took me 20 minutes to get a gallon of the Jasper tomatoes. Many folks talk of plants growing 12-15 feet tall but I allow for enough stringling for 20 feet of growth and I had let all the stringline down by Sept. on this variety and they were still growing. That may see like a good thing but I doubt that my overall production per plant was half the weight of most other cherry types I grow. This year I'll grow a few again but I plan to isolate them so that I can manage the growth better.

Sorry I can't speak for the blight- didn't have issues with other plants either but I guess the resistance wouldn't hurt to have as insurance.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I definitely understand how massive growth is NOT a good thing. :) It is very helpful to know so I can plan accordingly!

I would say that a determining factor in choosing this tomato might be whether blight, especially late blight, is a problem in your area. Saw big, fancy 6-packs in a local nursery, in our area where late blight is only a remote possibity. Seemed sort of odd.
