Flavor

Described as among the sweetest currant tomatoes, with excellent flavor and a hint of wine. This is the recurring catalog and grower description, not a measured claim.

Origin

A red currant-type tomato of the species Solanum pimpinellifolium, grown for its tiny, intensely sweet fruit.

What it does well

  • Tiny, jewel-like fruit on long trusses
  • Among the sweetest currant tomatoes
  • Cascading habit suits hanging baskets and tall containers

Where it frustrates

  • Very tiny fruit is slow and fiddly to pick
  • Sprawling vines need a lot of room or support
