- indet. but compact plant with thick bright green slightly 'crinkled' regular foliage, perfectly round small red fruits grow in clusters of 5-6. Fruits are 1-2 oz, with very good rich sweet flavor, can ripen all on the vine in one fruit cluster. 2-3 seed cavities are filled with thick gel that holds well when cut into wedges for salads. First few fruits were almost seedless. Very nice tomato indeed.
