Flavor

Origin
An old heirloom prized for its small, fuzzy, peach-like fruit and long storage life.
What it does well
- Unusual fuzzy peach-like skin
- A long keeper that stores for weeks
- Mild, distinctive sweet flavor
Where it frustrates
- Small, soft fruit
- Pale color makes ripeness harder to judge
Growing it
- Indeterminate vine. It keeps growing and setting fruit right up to frost, so plan on a tall stake or cage and regular pruning through the season.
- Mid-season timing, ripening around 70 to 80 days from transplant.
- Generally forgiving and beginner-friendly to grow.
- One of our picks for the cold, short-season gardens of New England.

An heirloom, sold without formal disease-resistance codes.
Why no hardiness zone?
Tomatoes are warm-season annuals, so variety choice comes down to days to maturity and your local frost dates.
