Details
This heirloom cherry tomato yields large amounts of red bite-sized juicy tomatoes. A very old type, tried and true. Great full flavor. A favorite for salads and fresh eating. These tomatoes will continue producing through fall. Long vines produce large 1½"-2" fruits that are firm and tasty. These plants are extremely productive and are a 'must-grow' variety here every year. We sell out of them every weekend at the farmer's market. The taste is unbelievable!
