I want some of those beasts lol. I doubt I could grow them as well, though.
2 ft staked, 1-2 stems. Sounds good. What latitude are you at? Ontario is rather large. I'm right around 40N. When OR117 sees a lot of sun, they seem to mush up. That is about the nearest to type I have grown, compared to those things.
Thanks for posting it.
Re: WTS - I thought I recognized that name. The WTS is not welcome here, per ownership. The story is on the first sticky of the general forum.
I go to Tatiana's for info.

Macehead is very descriptive. I love the name haha! Gives it a bit of a high-fantasy feel.
I'm at 43.25 in southern Ontario. Typically, tomato planting is done here after May 24 (June 1st is safest according to my grandmother, and 3 of the last 4 springs she's been right). I get mushy cherry and medium globe/beefsteak tomatoes on a lot of the first ones that ripen, which I always associate with the flowers having been exposed to cooler temps earlier in the season. Temps can change so drastically here—a night with temps at 5-6 Celsius can quickly become 33 degrees the next day.
I was disappointed in the WTS; as a place promoting heirloom, there was certainly a lot of red tape and paywalls. It's a good idea but maybe not in those hands. I'll look at Tatiana's!
I'd be happy to send you some seeds at end of season if it's permitted here.
