This tomato was smaller than I thought it would be but had excellent flavor and was a heavy producer. We used it in salsa, vegetable platters, and bruschetta. It can take some neglect and did better in partial shade from the hot afternoon sun. We grew this one in a 5-gallon pot and it exceeded expectations. We will add it to our garden again in 2024.

Like a mini version of a fluted oxheart, such as Cuor di Bue Albenga. Much larger than a cherry. Fine for small slices, cutting into salad, or turning into sundried or roasted. Taste was good, but not phenomenal, but I will likely grow at least one or two every year.
