\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Sea Star is a heavily ribbed, highly productive indeterminate<\/strong> variety that acts like a miniature version of “American Ribbed<\/a>.” While it puts out a massive yield of beautiful, toy-like 5 oz (140 g) fruits, growers note the flavor is strictly average and the flesh tends to be dry, making it better suited for culinary use rather than fresh eating.

I got the seeds from A.I. Kulik back in 2014. The description said: A miniature version of American Ribbed. A sea of fruit. Height reaches 6 ft (1.8 m), mid-season, fruits weigh up to 5 oz (140 g).<\/p>\n

And it really was loaded with fruit. It is a very beautiful variety, the tomatoes look like little toys. The flavor is pretty ordinary, and the flesh is a bit on the dry side.<\/p>\n

It truly is a very heavy-yielding variety. It has an interesting shape, but just a standard tomato flavor without any real sweetness to it.<\/p>\n
