- Compact indet. (or semi-det.?) plants with regular leaf foliage produce loads of small round and flattened red fruits, some with slightly ruffled shoulders, up to 2" in diameter, 1" high, very unusual shape for such small fruits. Fruits are so juicy and have very nice assertive flavor that stands out in a salad.
- For similarly shaped pink tomatoes see Hank.
