I live in south Louisiana and this tomato did the best of all my tomatos last year when the heat ramped up. One of my favorites!
I was able to get one for $1 in the clearance section at Walmart. I just picked my first one today!
I'm in Zone 7a in the intermountain west, and have had good results with Celebrity. But I struggle with trellising. I've learned to hate the Florida Weave method, and caging just makes the plant bunch together too much that restricts airflow and the cages make it difficult to harvest. They don't vine out enough to string them up like I do with my indeterminates, and cattle panels don't work too well either. I can't figure the best way to trellis them up, and I end up losing a lot of fruit to the ground. I'll keep looking for other options because I like the Celebrities so much. As a "semi-determinate", trellising difficulties just seem to be built-in.
