| Determinate yellow cherry-size tomato is easy to grow in a container (as I did summer 2006). Taste was ok, but not a strong point. Did produce well in a mild wet summer. Some cracking of fruit. Resists disease well. There are better cherry-size tomatoes out there. |

| This is one of the tomatoes developed by Dr. Jim Baggett at OSU for cool weather growing areas and will set fruit without pollinization (it is parthenocarpic). This tomato does produce prolifically and early, another one that is quite tasy when you don\'t have any other fresh tomatoes. With too much water, they tend to be lower in flavor and split. Earliest fruits have very few, if any, seeds in them. Rather small determinate plant, might do well in a container. |
