Details
We obtained these seeds in 2014 from a seed swap. We are unable to find any other information about them. The plants are extremely reliable and productive. The small pink cherry tomatoes are very sweet and crack-resistant. We can’t remember finding a cracked one! The plants produced round cherries and adorable miniature beefsteak-looking cherries. They are great additions to our cherry tomato mixes at the farmers’ markets. Very resistant to disease, and produced late into the season. An absolute winner!
