An ultra-early indeterminate heirloom sporting potato leaf foliage.
\nThe plant has an unusually compact habit for a vining type. Fruit runs on the smaller side, averaging 1.4 to 1.8 oz (40 to 50 g), bright red, round, with subtle fluting around the shoulders. Pruning to a single leader definitely produces noticeably larger fruit.
\nBecause of its restrained, slender growth habit, you can easily pack these plants closer together in high-density rows and run them as single stems.
\nMine grew in partial shade inside the greenhouse, yet it set every single flower truss completely without dropping blossoms. Flavor is standard, classic old-school tomato tang. The picked fruit holds remarkably well on the counter without going soft or losing texture.
\nGrown under greenhouse cover from original German seed stock. This variety delivered my very first, earliest ripe tomatoes of the whole garden:\"Quedlinburger<\/a><\/p>\n
