B.C KO T

Compact det. plants with regular foliage, heavy fruit set quite early in the season. Small elongated red fruits, some with a small nipple at the blossom end. 1-3 oz, about 2.5-3" long. Fruits grow in clusters of 4-8. Most of the fruits ripen at the same time, which is very convenient for canning. Very good sweet flavor. A very good keeper. Fruits can be also picked green at the end of the season and ripened inside, they would still be of a very good quality. A great paste, cooking, or canning tomato.
