Comment: Imagine my shock when I found the box of Opakla tomato seedlings tucked behind the only decorative object on my front porch! (Remember, it's early in the season.) I expected the delivery four days prior and kept looking for it. I opened the box from GrowJoy and the seedlings still looked great, despite unusually high early spring temperatures. Thanks GrowJoy! Plants still looked good after 4 days in the USPS box!
"Outstanding!"

Comment: Easily the finest paste type I've ever grown. Great tasting , easy to peel sweet fruit are virtually seedless. Used in salsa = thick and chunky. Prolific and beautiful plant grows in a way that shields fruit from sun scald. It was the last tomato plant to be pulled from garden last fall and still producing. Will definitely buy again!
