Details
This compact, cherry-size tomato is perfectly sized for growing in a container on your patio. For its size, it produces tons of ripe tomatoes. Tomatoes present prominently. Juicy fruits have a tender skin and perfect sweet to acid balance. The somewhat heart-shaped tomatoes are fun and interesting. They look especially cool when sliced in half, which shows off the heart-shape to best effect. These plants will produce tomatoes for an extended period of time and thrive in heat and humidity.
