SKU: 3401351I really enjoy the taste of these tomatoes. The flavor is unique to any other I have grown. They have a similar growth habit to the Everglades tomato. I have a hard time telling them apart until they ripen. I'll always plant these now.
This fruit produced many many small tomatoes, About half way between a currant type and a cherry. They are a light yellow and wierdly translucent, the skin is pretty fragile and i found it hart to pick them without tearing it. I roasted a bunch of em.
I got very low germination on this tomato, with only one seed sprouting. This turned out to be a good thing, because the single plant I put in clambered over a 12'x12' area and climbed up the support I gave it and into the trees. It was extremely prolific. Unfortunately, nobody in my family wanted to eat the tomatoes it produced- they were extremely thin-skinned, most of them cracked, and they had an unusual flavor, with no balancing acidity to speak of.
Larger than Red Currant, much more thin skinned, and much tastier. A bit of a messy sprawl, but worth growing if you have the space. I let mine dangle over my front porch, which wasn't quite enough sun but the plant still performed quite well.
These are wonderful, unique-tasting little cherry tomatoes with thin skins. Pick at ecru / champagne for a bright flavor with a good acidic balance, or wait until shoulders turn bright buttercup yellow for intense sweetness with unusual umami flavor notes reminiscent of sweet corn. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the plant is unwieldy (huge plant, long, thin, bushy vines, really wants to sprawl, hard to trellis or cage), it was actually surprisingly late to ripen for such a tiny tomato, and it was very prone to early blight compared to my other tomato varieties. But the fantastic taste makes it worth growing.
