Indeterminate mid-season striped slicer. The vine is tall, not super wide but not spindly either. Grew it in the greenhouse, yield was above average, about 4 fruits per truss weighing 8.8-14.1 oz (250-400 g). The tomatoes are absolutely beautiful, so cheerful looking, red and yellow stripes, meaty, and surprisingly for a striped variety, the flavor is really good and balanced, leaning mostly sweet. Potato leaf.<\/p>\n

Indet, grew in the greenhouse. Dropped a ton of blossoms, so the yield ended up being pretty small. The fruits are stunners though, weight 8.8-12.3 oz (250-350 g), taste had a noticeable tartness to it.<\/p>\n

Beautiful, heavy yielder, tasty. Didn’t love the tough skin, and it was the only variety I grew that had a lot of cracking around the stem. My fruits were medium-sized, didn’t get any massive ones. The photo shows two vines that have already had a lot of tomatoes picked off them.<\/p>\n

Beautiful productive indet for the greenhouse. Grew it on the east side, not in the sunniest spot. Caught your eye right away with how pretty it is. Striped red and yellow flat-round fruits, over 7 oz (200 g), excellent balanced flavor. Very few seeds.<\/p>\n
