| Larger than a cherry tomato, excellent flavor. Won top flavor prize in a Baker Creek Seed tomato tasting competition. Quite productive (not as many fruits as cherry tomatoes, as a result of the larger size). Be sure to harvest when fruit reach the ripe stage (flavor will deteriorate before the fruit gets soft). Best flavor with not too much water. |

| The slightly fuzzy skin and yellow color is a curiosity, but in addition to being very cute, I found the tomatoes to be meaty and have plenty of flavor. I will definitely grow it again. The only downside I'm aware of is the very small size limiting the uses for the tomato. |
