Flavor

Described as a pleasant, classic mild tomato flavor on a plant grown mainly for its compact size and productivity. This is the recurring catalog and grower description, not a measured claim.

Origin

An F1 hybrid bred for container growing, with a compact stout plant that carries full-sized fruit on a patio-friendly bush.

What it does well

Compact determinate plant about 2 feet, ideal for containers and small spaces
Very productive for its size, with full 3 to 4 oz fruit
Strong stout central stem needs little staking

Where it frustrates

An F1 hybrid, so seed cannot be saved true
Determinate, so harvest comes in a concentrated window
