| Grown in Seattle in 2010, which ended up being a bad summer for tomatoes even by the area's standards. I planted this variety as the earliest ripening tomato I could find, hoping to get something regardless of the conditions.
While the tomatoes did eventually ripen, I was unimpressed by the fact they didn't ripen appreciably earlier than other tomatoes with advertised days to maturity nearer 60 days. Even worse, the fruit were flavorless--I might as well have bought tomatoes from the store in the winter. |

| They are like cherry tomato size. I got seeds from Sandhillpreservation.com. it says Siberian pink. They have pretty sour taste, nothing special, not earlier than any other tomato variety I have (20 varieties this year).
If you are looking for cherry tomato, probably, this may be an option. |
