B.C KO T
- Compact det. plants with heavy cover of regular foliage, late fruit set, both small and medium round and oblate red fruits that are mostly seedless until late in the season. Very good sweet flavor, meaty flesh. I liked it. Very good late blight resistance - the plants survived a very bad outbreak of late blight in July 2011 that killed all the other tomato varieties in the area, the Legend plants were the only survivors.
