I am growing Opalka for a sauce tomato this year and was wondering how much production I should expect from them if conditions are favorable. Anyone out there grow them?

Yes, I've grown it, and actuallly was the first person to introduce the variety by SSE listing it. The link at the bottom notes the history behind it.

All I can tell you is that it's very productive, that may not help much but I don't count how many fruits/plant, nor do I weigh fruits per plant.

A link to Google IMAGES may give you some idea of production, but when viewing such IMAGE pages always put your mouse pointer over a picture to be sure it's the variety you want b'c sometimes some other varieties might be in there as well.

Thanks Carolyn, that was indeed helpful. If you say it is very productive that is good enough for me.
