I grew a couple of plants last year. Tasty and great to look at, good healthy strong growth. Only thing towards the end of season the fruits were more round and had lost their distinctive shape. Well worth growing IMHO :)

Have grown Berry for the last two years, and have set some seeds again this year. They are very tasty and a novel shape  but have a thickish skin, which I know some people don't like  (not me!) I sow early and take the side shoots as cuttings, they then go outside at the appropriate time, and the seeded plants stay in the greenhouse. Often the cuttings make better plants.

I grew these a couple of years ago as part of a trial before they had been released for sale. I quite like them and felt that the taste was good (not best ever but not bad) the shape was nice but for me the biggest thing was the disease resistance seemed very good. All my other outdoor toms had blight but these kept going.

I am growing them for the first time this year. :) I found the seeds in the bargain bucket seeds at Wyvales Garden centre last year so I thought I would give them a go.
