This is an excellent early tomato with an old-fashioned taste. Plant has some frost tolerance, gets about 18-24" tall and spreads to about 2 feet. Ours were planted and covered in April last year, nearly destroyed by hail and flooding on July 3, and came back to produce an abundant crop before our hard frost in the middle of September. Average size was about 7 oz.
