This tomato produces good yields of 8 to 9 oz red tomatoes. They are very sweet, meaty, juicy, and flavorful. Perfect for sandwiches, salads, slicing, and canning. The plant has good foliage protecting tomatoes from sun-scald. It does extremely well in hot and humid regions

Tomatoes are rich in vitamins A and C, and they are full of fiber. Field or vine-ripened summer tomatoes are higher in vitamin C than greenhouse tomatoes grown in the fall and winter, and fresh tomatoes have more vitamin C than when they are cooked or canned. Tomatoes are also noted for containing the antioxidant compound lycopene, which may help protect against prostate cancer and heart disease.
