It&#8217;s an indet vine, but mine turned out pretty scrawny, only hitting about 5 ft (1.5 m) tall. Yields were low, though that might just be my own fault for neglecting it a bit.<\/p>\n<p>The fruits are flat-round, orange with a little pink blush on top. Super sweet, but on the smaller side for me, sitting around 5-7 oz (150-200 g). I&#8217;m gonna try to dial it in and tame this one again next year.

The plant itself has a somewhat scrawny, wispy habit, which can trick growers into thinking it&#8217;s struggling when it&#8217;s actually just the natural genetics of the vine.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udcc8 <strong>Yield &amp; Variations:<\/strong> Yield and size vary wildly depending on the garden. One grower had low yields and 5-7 oz (150-200 g) fruits, while another grower\u2014using seeds from that exact same plant line\u2014got heavy yields where every single tomato topped 1.1 lbs (500 g). Proper soil fertility and pruning make a massive difference with this variety.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Taste:<\/strong> Universally praised for its flavor.
