Flavor

Described as sweet and delicious with an exceptional fresh flavor that is rich and complex, the dusky depth typical of dark tomatoes. This is the recurring catalog and grower description, not a measured claim.

Origin

An open-pollinated dark brown-red cherry tomato; catalog sources do not give a documented breeder or release date.

What it does well

  • Rich complex dark-tomato flavor
  • Heavy dense clusters of fruit
  • Vigorous productive indeterminate vines

Where it frustrates

  • Tall vines need staking or trellising
  • Best picked just before fully ripe to limit splitting
