- These tomatoes are 2-3 oz green balls with yellow stripes, and a zingy green taste. The small, bushy plants are well suited to container culture. This highly productive tomato is always a hit. 90 days to maturity.

- Green with yellow/yellow-green stripes. Regular leafed plant, indeterminate. Fruit grows to about the size of a tennis ball (and slightly larger), bushy with lots of leaf cover. A really nice acidic flavour, always really productive in my garden, and ripens well off the vine. Plants grow approx 4-4.5'. Does well in heat.
