Details
A tomato from South America. This variety produces huge, vigorous branches that yield thousands of 3/8”, sweet (but slightly tart), red currant tomatoes. These are wonderful for snacking on fresh, adding to salads or adding to culinary dishes as decoration and delicious flavoring. Also very flavorful made into preserves. Rare! (Note that although these are a different species, they will readily cross with other tomatoes. If you are saving seed, isolate these plants.)
