May be overkill, but I will have 4 grafted M-SE ready in May along with standard seedlings.

I have Mat-su ready to go in Williamsburg VA - regular and grafted. I'll probably place one out in a wall of water early.

Tomatoes in March, spectacular. So red and juicy. Beyond words beautiful.
That is a good idea to transplant a seedling in an earthbox now. Up and down temp swings like many of the other states. Not looking good for an early in-ground harvest this year. - Lisa |

Mine are sitting behind me saying, "Plant me!" I can't wait to see how they will do here in Texas.

The purpose of these crosses Sherry and I have been working on is, early - early mid-season tomatoes, THAT TASTE GREAT, not... okay, decent, average, pretty good, or almost good. LOL We will get out some others soon, Sherry has a dark tomato ( Susitna) that is one of the best blacks I have ate, the F7' s are growing now. Neither of us is interested in ever selling seeds or anything like that, we just like good tasting tomatoes that we can grow well in AK. Going to do some Rebel Yell crosses this year Last edited by AKmark; March 14, 2017 at 11:45 PM. |

I can't wait to eat my first MSE! Got my seeds from Cole Robbie, thank you! Sowed 5, all sprouted. Fingers crossed that they will do well here in my long-season climate.

I'm growing Ma-Su Express (f5 I think) this year, seeds courtesy of Cole Robbie.
How big do the plants get? Can I grow it in a 5 gallon container? |

I'm growing M-S E in c. Mississippi this year. Looking forward to seeing how they grow, and more importantly, how they taste!

Here's a couple of plants growing on my pool deck. My biggest producer though should be the runt of the litter (due to Russet Mites) which was stuck in an EarthBox with minimal potting mix replacement. It's partner was the runt of the litter too. I made the mistake of pairing one in an EB with SkyReacher and facing N-S vs E-W. SkyReacher is a much bigger plant and hogging the sun. Another EB has really big Matsu Express tomatoes. |

Very nice Barb, they sure seem to like that Florida sun. Those trusses are loaded up, especially that one on the bottom left. Super nice, very healthy looking plants.
