The tomatoes are large, orange, oblate with slight ribbing, meaty, and sweet. The plant is indeterminate and requires pruning. I grew it on 2-3 stems. At first, I thought the variety was unproductive\u2014it had poor fruit set (I didn&#8217;t shoot a video of it then, but I&#8217;ll probably shoot one in a few days and post it here). But as soon as the weather improved, it just pumped out fruits.
