Indet., regular leaf, medium size red round oblate fruits, high yield. Not a beefsteak tomato, in my opinion, as I expected larger fruits, but it was still quite good. Strong acidic flavor, juicy, thick gel. My seed source is Chuck Wyatt / Heirloom Tomatoes .

Seed source:

Heirloom Tomatoes 06 (Donna Meinschein, Maryland)

Year grown: 2011, 2012

Location: Zone 7b, PNW, Anmore, BC, Canada (760 ft above sea level)
