Could not kill,
November 30, 2008
Submitted by kari
from DFW Area
"I bought these in error and loved them. I live in North Texas and they not only survived the summer they survived a several nights 32-38 degrees in November. I planted them in my yard with mostly sun. I watered them twice a week during the summer, but instead of food I used my lawn clipping each around the base of the plants. I have 4 plants and used a bag a week of the clippings. This not only provided food but kept the ground moist. Note not a lot of fruit during summer but once it cooled in Sept they have tons and have not stopped and now it is Dec."

What went wrong?,

"I grew about 10 plants from seed. I gave 8 away and everyone loved them and they produced well. The fruit is very sweet. My 2 plants died before I got 20 tomatoes from them. My other tomatoes did well so I'm not sure what happened. I'll try again next year."

Pretty and plentiful, but not a great texture,
September 13, 2008
Submitted by Nicola
from SE Michigan
"Although they popped later than most of my cherry varieties and other small tomatoes, when they finally went they were very prolific. The unique shape is fun for kids, as it's great to have a variety of tomatoes to show them.
The flavor is a bit better than okay, but I do not go out of my way to show them to people who are unfamiliar with them. My grandmother loves them, as does my best friend, but the slight mealy texture is very present and is unappealing to those who are not tomato aficionados. They have a nice sweet tang and if you do not mind the texture, they're great to snack on straight off the plant.
All in all, I would recommend them and will grow them again next year, but they are truly a bit more for show than for eating."

Pretty but okay taste,

"I loved the look of these tomatoes, but when I tasted the first couple from the vine, I was very disappointed. Every review that mentions the "mealy-ness" is definitely correct. They are however, very pretty!"
