Hurray! I'm so glad you finally got to grow and taste one! Cuostralee has got to be one of my favorite all time tomatoes. Stingy on production but well worth a spot in my garden every year. It's a good looking tomato and the plant always seems to fight off disease pretty well.

I should have stuck with growing 2 plants again this year but decided on just 1 to seek out different reds. That was a mistake. Next year I may grow 3!

Yay! I'm glad it was only once for you!

Cursetralee didn't make my lineup this year. That makes 5 years trialed (four wrong types and one late blight wipeout) and 5 years not trialed, for 10 years total.

Since it's in your Tomato List Challenge, I guess I'll have to give it another try, next year. A challenge, Cuostralee has been.
