| I agree with the other posters, but am still happy with this tomato. My plants bear clusters of 8 or 9 and all look great and yield nicely. The cherries are large-ish, which I like, but are bland unless picked at the very last moment off the vine. At that point they have a wonderful, sweet flavor. Before that point they are absolutely bland and taste more like grapes than tomatoes. |

| Easy to grow, prolific for a white cherry tomato, but the flavor- you could cry it's so bland. During the short period of time when it's the ripest and almost too ripe- it tastes better at that moment. |

| I agree with last rater; this is average on all counts. Grows well, the cherries were a bit bigger than average and pale. Taste was so-so. It does look nice in a bowl or carton of cherries of different colors and I would think that this would go over well at market. |
