If you get a somewhat ribbed, large tomato (12-16 oz) that's the faux Box Car Willie. It's a good tomato from all accounts, but it's not BCW.

If you get a globe-shaped 5-10oz, that's the real Box Car Willie. BCW is known for setting well in high temps, along with Mule Team, Sioux, Ark. Traveler, etc.

I hope to taste one or both this year. There are so many varieties I have not tasted.
