I'll grow it again in the future, but not in 2019. It was a delicate balance between flavor I enjoyed very much and wasted fruits with the bad splitting. FWIW, 2018 August and September were extremely wet for me.
My end of year notes for this were:
Vigorous plant with very high production. Very tasty dark tomato, rich and earthy, nice tang with enough sweetness. Good texture--nice and juicy. BUT these things split at the mention of rain, splitting was so bad I would have to pick completely green to avoid having useless fruits. Might do better in a dry year or a controlled soil moisture setup. Taste rating: 8.5
