The baby bush, up to 50 cm (1.6 ft) tall, surprises with beautiful, round, unexpectedly large fruits weighing up to 250 grams (8.8 oz). Up to 5 trusses of high-quality fruits are formed on the plant. The tomatoes are firm, meaty, do not crack, and ripen perfectly off the vine. The variety is low-maintenance, suckers only need to be pruned up to the first truss.
