I was not sure what to expect, planted in May 2008 and it produced the best and largest tomatos I ever saw in less then 60 days. Great taste but they were so prolific I had to start cutting the plaant back as it out grew the area. Will pant again this year and see if I get the same results.  -  Wednesday, September 03, 2008 Very prolific! Reviewed By: Elaine (Indianapolis, IN) This is the first time I've grown this type of tomato; I started them from seed. They are not ripe yet, but I have MANY large green tomatos on healthy plants. I hope they taste as good as everyone says!  -  Monday, August 18, 2008 Smaller than I thought Reviewed By: Lola (Rockville, MD) These taste delicious, and are sweet. However, they are not much bigger than a large grape tomato, and aren't even striped! They are orange in color. They are also not nearly as prolific as my other hybrid tomatoes, as of so far (mid August).  -  Monday, June 16, 2008 The heat of Arizona Reviewed By: Dave (Phoenix, AZ) Here in AZ it is well over 111* today and Mr. Stripey is still thriving. With 4 to 5 months of over 100* temperatures and many days over 110* I have a misting system that sprays the air around my plants with water mist, cooling with evaporative cooling and moistening the air. Works pretty well.  -  Tuesday, March 25, 2008 The Best Taste Reviewed By: Denise (Conowingo, MD) Mr. Stripers (as they are called in my area are absolutely the best and sweetest tomatoes ever. A friend brought me one of these tomatoes about 6 years ago to try and I have been growing them ever since. They are very hard to find plants, the Amish nurseries are the only ones that grow them and have become hard to find. Two years ago, we lucked out and Walmart actually had them. So we usually start them from seed. I have read many complaints about them not producing. They are not a high yield plant, but the sweet flavor of the fruit makes them worth planting. They are very fragile and bruise easily. Once again the flavor of this old variety certainly compensates for the negatives. We nicknamed them the sweetest ugliest tomatoes ever.
