Of my pastes this far and away outperformed the others this year. We had an early freeze September 14th. These plants did not die but the San Marzanos planted next to them were destroyed. The only plants in this area that also lived through that freeze were Orange Strawberry which did finally produce a set of tomatoes, but so late in the year that I am not going to bother with them again.
With all of the issues that tomatoes had for me this year with heat, cold, wet, drought, freezing, etc, good to know that these can handle whatever is going to happen.
Of course, now EVERYTHING is frozen, but those, Rumi Banjan, and a few siberian varieties were the last men standing.
