This tomato variety is a perfect match for those seeking big flavors and generous yields, all in a compact package suitable for patio containers or small gardens. It boasts large fruits, each weighing a substantial 8 to 10 ounces, and offers a flavor that's unbeatable for fresh eating. Gardeners will appreciate the enormous yields and the robust disease resistance this variety provides. The fruits themselves are deeply oblate, firm, and a dark red color, featuring smooth shoulders and a small blossom-end scar, making them as attractive as they are delicious.
