Default Gary 'OSena

Tasted one for the first time last night. Lone fruit from my EB. Very good, reminded me very much of Cherokee Purple. Too bad I didnt have better fruitset.

Gary O'Sena was one of my successes this year. Good yield, excellent taste. A "2nd crop" plant has been set out.

Gary O'Sena is very similar to CP and Carbon to me as well. The biggest difference for me was size and production. The first fruits of Gary O'Sena were larger and production was better.

Taste and production vary some from one season to the next. This year, Carbon was out of this world terrific and won best black in my garden.

Gary O'Sena is a great tomato and will return next year.
