Details
Developed by Madame Jacqueline Morel of Saint-Uze, France, who named it after her beloved dog, Surpriz. This is the original line released by Madam Morel and not to be confused with the N. American line which is just called Surpriz.
A slightly heart-shaped colored brick-red tomato with very prominent green stripes. The interior flesh is a beautiful bi-color of green and pink. Fruits average from 4-6 oz. Very sweet and one you won’t soon forget. One of our garden favorites.
