Very tasty flesh with a meaty core, that produces luscious fruit all summer long, and in high quantity.  A very deep and complex flavor with a hint of smokiness, our favorite way to eat these is thickly sliced with a bit of salt sprinkled on top. One of our workhorse varieties.         
 
Tomatoes grow best in rich fertile soil with regular water. Too much nitrogen will cause plants to put on lots of leaves but delay fruiting. Staking or caging allows closer spacing, helps keep fruit off the ground and away from a number of pests, and improves air flow, helping to keep disease pressure down. Pruning will also aid in air flow and help fruit ripen earlier.
