I was disappointed in this one. Though there were huge masses of blooms I never quite got huge bunches of tomatoes off of this one. Flavor was good but I had many other tomatoes that out produced this one.

Charming little elongated golden tomatoes in large bunches, although none of mine were as large as advertised. Still, we got well over 300 tomatoes per plant. They are large, sprawling plants, so support them well. They were very rich and tasty fresh; far superior to the Yellow Pear that they resemble. They also dried beautifully, with a sweet fruity flavour reminiscent of apricots.

This yellowish grape shape producer tastes great. Kind of a tangerine hint. Grows from seed in greenhouse and outside in garden and container on deck. Easy to grow. Late into season treat right from the vine.

Large determinate yellow cherry-grape tomato. OP. Fruits grow in huge clusters, up to 50 tomatoes in each. Crack easily, but hold well on the vine. I was not impressed with the flavor, although I noticed that late fruits (Sept/Oct) have more pronounced flavor, not too bland.
