- Plants are regular leafed and determinate. Mid-season. Predominately a concentrated setting type. Paste fruits are rather small about 120g/4oz, red, nippled and have moderate resistance to the foliar phase of early blight. Plant is productive and the fruits have a rich taste when left to fully vine ripen. Not resistant to collar rot or fruit phases of early blight.
