B.C KO T
- Indet., but compact plants with very large trusses of flowers and fruits, although not at large at multiflora type. Red juicy cherries with very good sweet flavor. We got two different types from the original seed - one was round cherry, and the other was oval or almost pear-shaped. From Alan Kapuler's description it was not obvious which one was correct, and Google search for this tomato shows both fruit types. We are offering the seeds from oval-shaped fruits.
