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.

Large vines, need caging or staking. Prolific producer of 2 oz. (bigger than typical cherry tomatoes) round red fruit that grow in small clusters. The flavor is strong and very sweet.
