Large vines need caging or staking, 84 days, a bountiful producer of cute little thin-necked pear-shaped yellow fruits about 1 to 1.5 inches long, mildly sweet flavor.

Large plant, definitely requires staking. Extremely high yielder of small pear-shaped yellow tomatoes, about 1.5" long. Seems to do very well in dry and hot conditions, no problems with cracking/splitting. Good flavour, a good mild acidity and sweet flavour. Indeterminate, 70-80 days.

Large Indeterminate, regular leaf vines produce lots of pear shaped, yellow cherry tomatoes. Smooth taste, but too bland for me. Early/mid season, 70 days.
