This was the earliest ripe tomato by yards in my garden. Very productive and easy to grow. Golf ball sized fruits that were tasty but I did prefer Stupice by a tiny bit. Again, could not keep up with the produce as it sat next to Stupice and between the two, YIKES. Very good for salads, perfect size. |

My second year growing Kimberly. Very early (plants set out in mid-March produced ripe fruit Memorial Day or 42 days) Not quite as productive as Stupice but flavor is superior. Fruit are actually very large for a cherry; more like a small salad tomato. I am considering replacing Stupice with Kimberly as my early season tomato. An Early Girl set out the same day and grown next to a Kimberly is just beginning to ripen fruit in early June. |
