My Dester was both meaty and juicy. I did leave it on the vine until it was totally ripe. I got a lot more seed from one than I expected considering the small locules. My plant was also more productive than expected. All of the tomatoes on the vine set in the spring without additional fruit set later. I will trim the vine back a little and see if it will produce in the fall. Some of the varieties which were heavy producers last year only set one or two tomatoes this year. We have experienced such a crazy growing season this year, I won't be able to determine which traits are normal for any variety. I do know next year, I will be growing four Dester plants instead of one.
