I harvested 4 Orange Banana tomatoes last night. This is my first year to grow these & they are a "keeper". They have a very sweet taste, the core is small & they are decent sized. I'm not sure why they cracked. The soil moisture has been even & usually I only get cracking when it rains after a long dry spell, but I have been watering my beds. I got my seeds from Baker Creek Heirlooms, one of my favorites.
UPDATE: This tomato has a really good flavor
& fruit size is decent, but probably 1/4 of the tomatoes had
blossom end rot. None of my other tomato varieties had a problem with this, so it may be a trait common to this particular one. I don't plan on growing it again next year.
