Flavor

Described as sweet, juicy, and pleasantly mild, a classic cherry-tomato taste on a tiny plant. This is the recurring catalog and grower description, not a measured claim.

Origin

A popular micro dwarf cherry tomato bred for the smallest containers and windowsills.

What it does well

  • Micro dwarf, only 8 to 12 inches tall
  • Thrives in the smallest pots and on windowsills
  • Very early and ornamental

Where it frustrates

  • Tiny plant gives a small total harvest
  • Fruit is small even for a cherry
