I purchased a Bonnie Plant Creole Hybrid developed at LSU the other day. It says it's heat tolerant. I never knew that what we thought was Creole growing up was probably a Celebrity. Anyone grow these or a different version of a Creole.

I don't like the "creole" variety. To me it's just meh, and not worth a spot in my garden.

Celebrity time after time wins in taste testing and production, so that's why it has always been a prevalent tomato. I plant celebrities for lots of tomatoes and everything else for fun.

Bella Rosa is another one that wins quite often in the taste testings as well.

I got those exact plants from lowes. Wife told me she wanted to try a few things so I grabbed a few different things. Planting this weekend...first go at it.

The creoles i see now are not the creoles that my PawPaw use to grow. They were uglier but they were delicious and larger. 1 slice would cover a slice of bread.
