B.C KO T

Compact determinate dwarf plant with dense regular foliage. Early fruit set. Small round oblate red fruits. Early fruits can be heart-shaped or ribbed due to fruit set happening early in the season when temperatures are still cool. 2-5 oz, very good sweet flavor. High yields. Some grower reported larger fruit size, so I think mine were a bit smaller as I grew the plants in small containers.
