Grandpa Willie
Got Grandpa Willie seeds from Tomstrees last year and these are the first four I picked today. I believe the original seed came from Spudleafwillie. Will report back on flavor.

I got my seeds from Spudleafwillie. They are awesome in the flavor department. I would say it is in the top 5 for me too. Grandfather Ashlock is tied in first right now with two others Soldacki, and Polish. To be honest I have a few favorites..just can't decide yet...maybe the Choptaggers will help me at the tastefest...
I should have plenty of seeds to share this fall and winter. |

Grandpa Willie was very prolific this year for me and fruits pretty uniform 10 to 16 oz.
Your picture looks right. My fruit had much less catfacing maybe I kept mine pick sooner. I would say Grandpa Willie is must grow. Michael |

The rest of the developing fruit do not have the catfacing as depicted above...I believe they got hit by a brief, but heavy rain and this resulted.
Had a couple with a salad last night...full of good, almost sweet tomatoey flavor. I know realized I forgot to take a sliced pic...will have to get one later. Agree with Michael...a must grow for anyone. I would like to try the other tom Spudleafwillie has...Grandpa Charlie.

Adenn1, I have some seeds ferminting right now for GC. I will also have seeds for Grandfather Ashlock ( my taste buds rank GA higher than both Grandpa's ) PM me in a few weeks and I will send you seeds.

Mark,
I also grew Grandpa Charlie which produces fewer fruit. |
