The name translates to &#8220;Angelica&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant Habit:<\/strong> A short determinate (bush). The plant grows to about 50-60 cm (20-24 inches) tall. It has a spreading habit and requires staking\/tying up due to the sheer weight of the fruit. Most growers recommend <strong>not pruning<\/strong> it, as it sets fruit on every sucker.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Red, oval\/egg-shaped fruits with a cute little point (beak) on the blossom end. They weigh about 50-70g (1.8-2.5 oz). They are very firm and dense.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor &amp; Uses:<\/strong> For such an early tomato, the flavor is surprisingly good\u2014sweet with a touch of acidity. Because the harvest is very concentrated (they ripen almost all at once) and the skins are sturdy, it is an absolutely perfect variety for whole-fruit canning.<\/li>\n<li>\u23f3 <strong>Maturity:<\/strong> Ultra-early season.

They ripened all together. The tomatoes are tasty, sweetish.
