You may have already seen these, the 5 reviews on the Burpee listing? None of them give any taste awards, mealy, average, etc. were the terms used. If you didn't read the reviews there you might want to check them out. I noticed one reviewer said 10 gallon container and another pointed out that it got to be a much larger plant than expected.

Personally , I am always suspicious of Burpee's "glowing" descriptions as too many seem to find they just don't pan out. If you grow it let us know what you think of it.

Yes, I agree with Dave. I posted a review to Burpee's website after having a bad problem with some bean seeds. The representative I spoke to on the phone gave me a lot of grief before I just insisted on a refund. Ironically, my review never made it to the site . . . and in case you're wondering :) it was a tasteful review approach and quite appropriate . . . lol.

I planted these from seed this year and the 2' tall thing is BS. Mine are working on 5 ft tall right now. They are very good tasting and really meaty. My husband doesn't usually like tomatoes but he likes these and my lemon boys. I used small cages on them because they were supposed to be compact but the cages have fallen over from the weight of all of the tomatoes. I am now staking the cages up and clipping the tops to keep them from getting taller. They've also been very disease resistant. I would absolutely grow them again. I wouldn't recommend

I grew one in a 5 gallon container last year. It was not that bad, considering less than perfect growing condition. But nothing to write home about.

I am growing one right now. I got it as a start at the store, and had no ground ready to plant. It is in a large black nursery pot I had in outdoor planting mix. I use Lily Millers all purpose planting and growing food when I planted it, and nothing since. It has survived weeks of really hot, three digit high, temps, and some water deprivation. I was worried about blossom end rot, but have seen NONE!! Knock on the wooden fence! That is my biggest recommendation right there. It also set many fruit on a small plant. Mine has not reached 24". It is determinate and has no more flowers. I cannot comment on taste as I have not had a ripe one yet. They are getting larger, and I'm really liking the plant so far. I will definitely grow these again, if the flavor is good.

Ha! 2023 now, and i wish idI’d found this page earlier. planted 2 of these just to appease my BLT craving husband. i got 2 large starts at Costco’s. its been a mixed up summer with cool periods interspersed with 100+° temps. These 2 plants in well ammended soil have produced amazingly and been free of disease. Great, but why do we grow tomatoes? Its for the flavour. These would be decent store bought tomatoes, but there’s nothing outstanding, no depth, no zing. To me they are tomatoes in name only. I grow Dwarf Tomato Project plants, usually from saved seeds. I’m always a bit late, so its well into August when we get any, but they are quite wonderful and redolent in their flavors. This year. I’m growing Fred’s Tie Die, Sweet Scarlet, and, as usual, good old Rosella Purple. The 1st 2 are producing well, despite the hot spells, Rosella Purple, not so much. its always a good idea to plant several varieties, as you never know what summer may bring. If you are interested in these 3-4’ varieties that grow like stout little trees (and do need support), look them up. seeds are available for a bewildering number with new varieties added every year. You can usually find started plants for sale online online. I’m happy with the threesome that Im growing, but like to tryout a new one or 2 occaisionally. Well worth seeking out for space stressed gardens like my own.
