Overall Taste Yield Ease	Quebec, Canada Frost Free Season: 143 - 163 days Soil Texture: Not Sure Garden Size: Small - Less than 400 square feet (20' x 20') Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day
Got a six pack of these plants on sale ($1.67) at Reno-Depot. We put them in hanging baskets. These plants do not get very big. Ours are about a foot high). The plants are quite pretty, grow and produce quickly and require very little care (which I like). We now have an abundance of small "orange-ish" red tomatoes. The taste is pretty good (somewhat sweet with a little tang) but the skin is thick which has a tendancy to stick to your upper palette while you eat (which I don't like). Will probably not grow again.

Overall Taste Yield Ease	Florida, United States Frost Free Season: More than 203 days Soil Texture: Sand Garden Size: Small - Less than 400 square feet (20' x 20') Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day
Great for hanging baskets. Lacks flavor to some extent as compared to other cherry tomatoes. Very prolific grower and requires a 16 in. basket or larger for best results. In hot weather requires heavy watering as most baskets do but more so with tumbler. Fun to grow and pretty to view. Makes a good conversation piece. A must for every serious gardener.
