It is a wee bit slow over there today!
I did grow Rebel Yell F5 in 2012. Unfortunately only one plant so can't really give a positive or negative rating. My one plant struggled from the get go with high disease and insect pressure, but what few fruits I got were mighty tasty, though late. I need to give it another whirl. Sorry, not much help. But do know of quite a few others with a long growing season that have really liked it!

Tatianna's Tomatobase has several ratings for Rebel Yell. I have the seeds but have not grown it.

I grew a Rebel Yell F6 last season and it was tastiest tomato I grew last year.
Mine was started late (I got the seeds late), so it didn't get a chance to set many fruit before the heat shut it down. Disease and insect performance were about average - it died when most of the other tomatoes did. The birds in my yard are smart - they always know which tomatoes are the tastiest and hit those first. Needless to say, I had a bear of a time keeping them off the Rebel Yell fruits!
I have a seedling going right now for this season. I have gotten a lot of tomato varieties in gifts and trades this past year and this is the ONLY tomato that I am repeating from last year. Although I had some other fine tomatoes last year (which I will grow again once I have tried out my new ones), Rebel Yell was so delicious that I had to grow it again.
If only it set fruit in the heat...!

Simply put, it was the best tasting pink I grew last year and i grew dozens. Here is a pic. They were not late for me maybe 75 days I think, and produced till frost.

I think you'll like them! They are a staple in my garden too, for at least 3 years now.

A keeper for me. A mid to late season tomato. Quite productive right to the end of the season. Excellent balanced flavor with good texture. A very versatile multi-use tomato that I enjoy most for fresh eating. Mine has vigorous healthy vines.

That will be interesting. What I am growing now came from Elliemater, and I am not sure what generation it is. It's setting fruit pretty well so far. Now to keep the birds from getting them before I do...my birds always know which tomatoes are the tastiest!

Oh, Blane is still around the web! He recently launched his seed shop and had a couple of sell-outs already. galacticmagicseeds.com/

ladymarmalade That's pretty cool. I lost touch with him about 4 years ago. Glad to hear he's doing well.
