The tomatoes are plum-shaped with a sharp pointed tip (beak), weighing up to 50g (1.8 oz). At the mature green stage, they are cream-colored with green stripes; when fully ripe, they turn golden with red stripes and streaks. They are sweet, firm, and store pretty well for a certain period of time. Seeds were from Mokushka.<\/p>\n<p>For the absolute best taste, it is mandatory to wait for full ripening\u2014when the fruit softens a bit and the red stripes clearly appear.

The trusses had 6-8 sweet little plums weighing about 40-50g (1.4-1.8 oz) each, and the taste was excellent. It grew well over 2 meters (6.5 ft) for me and ended up bending under the roof of the greenhouse.<\/p>\n<p>For some reason, at the beginning of the summer, it suffered from severe physiological leaf roll. I fussed and babied it for a while, thinking I wouldn&#8217;t even see any fruit, but it eventually returned to normal and delivered a great harvest\u2014definitely around 3 kg (6.6 lbs) per bush. And it\u2019s so handsome!<\/p>\n<p>We harvested the final crop the day before yesterday. I cut off all the remaining trusses\u2014both the ripe ones and the green ones for counter-ripening indoors\u2014they will go into canning jars. There\u2019s no point in waiting for warmth here in Siberia anymore.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_09\/IMG_20200805_164028.jpg.37cea0d5bc5a3416b4f06edcfd9e8cbf.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_09\/IMG_20200805_164028.thumb.jpg.370cf848f378d4de9a61047193779ba7.jpg\" alt=\"Sweet Cream plum tomato fruit cluster\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">O<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Oksana <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (5,146 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Aktobe, Kazakhstan (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>I planted it in 2019, seeds from Lena Danko, grew it outdoors in open ground. The seedling broke during transplanting, so I had to re-root a cutting from the top. Because of that, it ended up being quite short, much lower than the 1.2-1.5m (4-5 ft) <em>Candy Sweet Icicle<\/em> plants next to it, and naturally, the yield wasn&#8217;t anything spectacular that year compared to the others. And this year, the seeds flat out refused to germinate.<\/p>\n<p>But I got enough fruits in 2019 to taste and admire it. Here, with our intense sun, it turns out incredibly bright and beautiful. The skin literally looks like it was dusted with edible pearlescent glitter\u2014it shines so much! It&#8217;s a very glittering cherry tomato. By the way, the photo was intentionally taken outside in natural daylight\/partial shade; under electric lighting, the color is even more saturated.<\/p>\n<p>The flavor is also vibrant. It is very sweet, just like <em>Candy Sweet Icicle<\/em>, but with a little more acidity, making the taste feel much more concentrated. The bush itself has a delicate, wispy constitution, just like <em>Candy Sweet Icicle<\/em>, to which it is a close relative. The green cherry in the photo is the <em>Grinch<\/em> variety.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_01\/IMG-20190728-WA0015.jpeg.85790fed982cc03fc4987827b2747d31.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_01\/IMG-20190728-WA0015.thumb.jpeg.a77cd8dca2ecddd0d8d0646fb81b3215.jpeg\" alt=\"Comparison of Sweet Cream and Grinch cherry tomatoes\" width=\"168\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">M<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Malanka (Anna) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (7,931 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Minsk, Belarus (USDA Zone 5)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<blockquote><p><strong>Svetlana said:<\/strong><br \/>\nSweet Cream.
