I would honestly try to give this variety a third attempt, but would really want to know if anyone has grown it well and tasted it, to give me their opinion on it if it's worth the trouble.

Jersey Devil was introduced by theTomato Seed Company out of Metuchen, NJ and Ibought seeds when they were still in business, so yes, I've grown it.

And well I remember their thin paper catalog which was printed in red and green.

A typical long red paste similar to many long red pastes I've grown.Taste is better than most long red pastes,but nothing extraordinary about it.

Linda at TGS started listing it a few years ago.

Above is an older thread from GW with more opinions about Jersey Devil.
