\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> A mid-early, potato-leaf indeterminate that produces thin-skinned, red oblate tomatoes. Highly notable for its uniquely sweet seed gel, though it can be finicky in high heat and inconsistent moisture. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Indeterminate vine, moderate height and average vigor. Mid-season, but leans closer to mid-early. Potato leaf type foliage.<\/p>\n

The fruits are red, oblate, and perfectly meaty yet juicy. They have thin skin but handle transport surprisingly well and can even be stored for a short while. The flavor really surprised me! The flesh itself is pleasantly sweet-tart, but the seed gel is actually way sweeter – usually, it’s the exact opposite!<\/p>\n

It does have a few drawbacks: inconsistent watering leads to cracking, and it doesn’t handle heatwaves very well (it tends to drop some blossoms). There is also a huge variation in fruit weight across the plant. Still, it’s staying in my collection purely for that uniquely sweet seed gel \ud83d\ude04<\/p>\n
