| i love this variety. it is sharply flavorful, in part because it has a lot of seeds and gel (large locules) it is also adorable -- miniature with fluting. on the downside, it does seem to go from green to ripe really fast, and not last long once picked. if you want a solid fleshed or low acid tomato, it's not for you. |

| They grew well and were beautiful but tasted bad. Lots of seeds and juice with thin flesh. The flavor was not one I'd prefer. Tart with little depth. They lasted only a couple days after picking. |

| Didn't have to do too much with this plant, got a ton of tomatoes, but they didn't taste very good as they were sort of mealy. They are shaped nice, but went mushy very quickly. |

| For the size of the tomato, the yield isn't that high. The tomatoes are cute, but they must be eaten imediately. They go bad very quickly. |
