Flavor

Described as a sweet, rich tomato flavor good for salads, salsa, and fresh pasta sauce. Flavor is subjective, so treat this as the recurring catalog and grower description rather than a measured fact.

Origin

An F1 hybrid grape tomato bred by Known-You Seed and named a 1999 All-America Selections winner for its crack resistance, yield, and early maturity.

What it does well

  • Strong crack resistance, holding on the vine for harvest
  • High yields of elongated cherry fruit in grape-like clusters
  • Early at about 60 days and an All-America Selections winner

Where it frustrates

  • Vigorous indeterminate vines reach five to six feet and need trellising
  • Elongated shape is sometimes sold as paste despite eating like a grape tomato

Like Juliet, but...

Sold out, or after a change? The closest alternatives, and how they differ.
