It is heat and humidity tolerant, and is said to be blight resistant, although I cannot verify this other than reporting that it did not have blight while I grew it.<br \/>\nThe fruits are red slicers with rosy red gel and a softer texture than one expects in commercial varieties\u2026very pleasant for eating fresh. The flavor is a balanced and smooth tomatoey blend of acid and sugar. This season I grew it from new seeds from my original vendor source. I noticed that the fruits looked less scalloped, but it might have been environmental.
