65 days, compact regular leaf plant with droopy branches and wispy foliage, small-medium size mostly heart-shaped red fruit, 3-7 oz, very meaty with hardly any seed cavities, very few seeds (almost seedless), excellent fresh tomato flavor, sweet, this one was the first to ripen in the field at the end of June here in PNW; excellent fruit set in cold weather, large flowers, beautiful and unusual plant; branches cannot support fruit, so it is best caged, a small cage is sufficient to support plant, I don't recommend to prune suckers as they bear the majority of the fruit; very productive.
