Thanks Jillian! So far, GGWT and Terhune are the stars:

GGWT 1: 12 lbs (fruit now set- 16)
GGWT 2: 10.6 lbs (fruit now set- 8)

Terhune: 14.5 lbs. (fruit now set- 12)

DLH 1: 4.5 lbs (but there are 46 tomatoes set on the plant!)
DLH 2: 3.6 lbs (fruit now set: 15)

Thanks, somehow I left GGWT out this year but it will be on grow list for next, along with Terhune.

It is super productive, GGWT! And a great sweet flavor, with beautiful colors! I will post some cut pictures for you

[Spartanburg123]

The plants are still thriving in this 93 degree heat, and the first sets of fruit are ripe and off the plants. I think I will cut these back some, do some foliage treatments, and hope for a resurgence when the temperature drops low enough to allow pollination. I will start with a shot of phosphorus, which should promote flowering and fruit set into August and September.

I have had some losses: three to TSWV (Rebel Yell, Olive Hill, GGWT) and a later one to TSWV (Sgt. Peppers). Right now I have some Septoria on all of the plants, but have good growth at all stems.

1st ripe fruit- Neves Azorean Red, 14 oz.

I am very impressed by this plant's resistance thus far, and has a very neat and tidy RL pattern that does not get too "bushy". Excellent cultivar!

We are up to critical mass in tomatoes. I have many new friends at the office .

Thanks Worth! It had such an interesting history via Carolyn, Mr. Neves, and the remote Azores Islands, that I had to grow it. It was also based on your recommendations as a must-grow that I planted one out this year. Great cultivar!!

And NAR was probably from Portugal since many there moved to the Azores.
