Indet. bushy and relatively compact plants with regular foliage, high yield of red plum-shaped fruits, 2-3 oz. Some fruits are more rounded. Fruits have think walls but not too much juice. Very good sweetish flavor. Great for sauce or canning, but also good fresh.

Moderate vines about 4-5 ft. long benefit from some support, 66 days, good production of 3 oz bright red classic Roma-shaped fruits with good flavor for a paste variety. Thick walled, not very juicy fruits are great for making sauce. This variety seems to be less susceptible to BER and foliar diseases than some other Roma varieties. This is one of my favorite paste tomato varieties.

semi-determinate, only two fruit trusses in 2009 and 2010, but seems to be very resistant.
