Pretty heat and drought tolerant!
I don’t believe there’s enough time in the season to get a fruit, but I had planted it with some dryfarmed stuff for fun to see how it did. And it’s done very well! I haven’t been watering it and it’s been growing, I’m sure if I had planted it on time it would’ve been a very good producer despite the heat where I live. For one you get a lot of seeds per order so that’s a bonus, and for two, they grow exceptionally well compared to traditional seeds you would get from Walmart or somewhere else! It’s way worth it to buy these seeds, I can recommend them a hundred percent! If you live somewhere where it’s dry and hot these are the perfect tomatoes!

Great germination!
Every one of these I planted germinated beautifully! I didn’t even do anything fancy, just a daylight bulb and a heated blanket.
