Growers note that to unlock its famous &#8220;smothered in fruit&#8221; maximum yield, it really prefers greenhouse conditions.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Striking cocktail\/large cherry sized tomatoes weighing 20\u201340 g (0.7\u20131.4 oz). The color is a deep burgundy\/purple-mahogany overlaid with metallic green and bronze stripes.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor &amp; Texture:<\/strong> Sweet, juicy, and very aromatic when picked fresh. However, some growers note that late-season fruits or certain strains can develop a slightly &#8220;cottony&#8221; or mealy (soft) texture.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83e\udd6b <strong>Uses:<\/strong> An outstanding variety for whole-fruit canning.
