75 days, determinate variety with gorgeous delicate leaves, with a slight silver tone. Good for growing as an ornamental alone. Good production, 3" in diameter meaty fruit, excellent taste. Very compact plant, about 18" tall, doesn't require staking. Good container tomato.

2009 Notes 

This one did better for me then ever before. Was placed in a location where it received 10-12hrs of hot blazing sun and gave me 25-30 tomatoes, all of a very good size (4-7oz!), and I ended getting 4lbs/plant. Loved the heat.
