It was the name that got me as well -- supposedly Plan #9 from outer space is one of the worst movies ever made. I thought the fruit looked pretty even though they were supposedly prone to a little catfacing, so I said "Sure why not!" and have it a go. This was probably one of the best gambles ever. I've never had a more productive beefsteak for Texas weather in crappy clay soil. After I harvested the big ones from the two plants I have, one of them have another 4 fruits starting to swell from buds that I though were dormant. It's not as good as KBX (10/10 for me), but it was still a very delicious & sweet one (8/10) and for all the fruit set I was extremely impressed!
