oh dear, total tomato newbie that I am I bought the italian ice from burpee...its growing like a monster and is setting blooms as we speak. I grew from seed, started them the same time I started my rutgers and the italian ice is at least a foot taller and has two sets of blooms already. Since I'm in Alaska I grow indoors, we'll see how this one does.
Also since I'm in Alaska, burpee is one of very few seed sellers that will actually ship to me without charging me a surcharge...it doesn't actually cost any extra to ship here USPS, so I boycott anybody who even suggests it.
The IIC is the only hybrid I ordered from burpee. I tried to stay away from them but the description and pics were just too enticing.
