- early to mid-season, indet., regular leaf wispy foliage, medium-to-large pink hearts with very good sweet flavor, 8-15 oz, very meaty with few seeds, which is typical for most heart-shaped varieties. Some yellow shoulders appear on fruits exposed to sun. This was one of the first large tomatoes to ripen in my 2009 garden. Can be grown in 5 gal containers.
