📌 Quick Summary (TL;DR)
- 🌍 Origin: An intriguing and highly desirable variety resulting from an accidental cross between the legendary heirloom Brandywine and the famous cherry tomato Sweet 100.
- 🌿 Plant Habit: Indeterminate, mid-season. It primarily features Potato Leaf (PL) foliage, though due to its genetics, growers report that it can still occasionally segregate and throw a Regular Leaf (RL) seedling. It is extremely robust, unpretentious, and performs beautifully outdoors in open ground.
- 🍅 Fruit Characteristics: Large pink cherry/plum tomatoes averaging about 25 grams (0.9 oz). They have a stunning “sparkling” skin. Inside, they are remarkably meaty for a cherry tomato, contain very few seeds, and have a gorgeous cross-section that almost looks like a bi-color tomato.
- 👅 Flavor: Absolutely superb. Inheriting the best traits of its parents, it is rated as exceptionally sweet with a rich, complex flavor.
A mid-season indeterminate variety. The leaf is potato-type (PL), but it can segregate into regular leaf (RL). Last year, out of two seedlings, I got one of each—one with a potato leaf and one with a regular leaf. I kept the PL bush for myself. This year, all the seedlings came up with potato-type leaves.
The fruits are pink cherry tomatoes with sparkling skin. They have a superb taste, very, very sweet. These little cherries have very few seeds and a beautiful color when sliced—almost resembling a bi-color tomato. They are quite large for a cherry, with an average fruit weight of 25 grams (0.9 oz).
The bush grew outdoors in open ground and proved to be very low-maintenance and unpretentious.
This variety is the result of an accidental cross between the Brandywine and Sweet 100 varieties.
