- 115 days from sown seed, regular leaf, red, round, variable fruit size up to one inch, some ripe fruit as small as a large pea, plant is actually indeterminate, growing on a south-facing window sill at my office next to red robin and hardin's miniature which are both better flavored in my opinion.
