Germination rates, as I recall, were less than 50% And the strongest plant, which I kept, failed to develop one single piece of fruit. It was such a major disappointment. The fact that you got a free seed pack with your order from TomatoFest tells me that variety ain't much in demand. It just hasn't performed well outside of its home range, which does sometimes happen with heirloom varieties. Can't tell you why, but it does sometimes happen.Bill Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11816389236294882066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1040094306206601621.post-27396810220969807912013-03-12T23:28:59.546-07:002013-03-12T23:28:59.546-07:00Thank you for posting this!

I got the seed as a bonus pack in my order from Tomatofest this year and I can hardly find any info on it. How did it do when you grew it?Michael Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07571500771913231994noreply@blogger.com
