Punta Banda is a rare, mid-height variety that topped out around 4.3 ft (1.3 m) inside the greenhouse. Heavy-yielding plant with mid-season maturity.<\/p>\n

Fruit Size, Flavor Profile, and Cluster Formation<\/h3>\n

The fruits are large cherries, uniformly round and bright red. In my garden, they turned out very juicy with a true classic, old-school tomato flavor.<\/p>\n
