These are very pretty round yellow tomatoes, produced early and in reasonably good quantity. They are determinate, and will stop production mid-season. The plants stay small and manageable. They taste okay, but I can't say I really love them. On the other hand, we added them to some yellow tomato sauce we were making with a yellow tomato we liked much better (Banana Legs) and they improved the flavour of the sauce, I guess by increasing the complexity of it. Still, I think we will be giving some other yellow tomatoes an audition this year. |

Mild, sweet flavor (bland for my taste), perfect appearance of smooth round perfect yellow globes. Quite early and well-covered with fruit. It's determinate, it's only real flaw, otherwise I'd rate this tomato much higher. |
