I tried these as green and did not like them. Then I forgot about them and ate them as red tomatoes a few weeks later and they were very good. I totally missed the yellowish green stage described here. The size was slightly smaller than a golf ball.

This is my favorite Cherry tomato. I grow it every year. It has a wonderful flavor, a spicy sweet taste which is far more well developed compared to other cherry tomatoes. Just an awesome tomato!

I really am not a big fan of this tomato. The flavor to me was just a little off and compared to other plants with fruit in it's size range it just doesn't yield as much as say "Grape". I probably won't grow it again unless i grow it for kids.

Very good choice for kids. Very unique taste and I do not care for green varieties at all. They are ripe when they have an yellowish cast to them. Make SURE you obtain the "correct" original form. A Dutch breeder distributed a determinate form and it is inferior to the indeterminate form. Original variety developed by Tom Wagner.
