| Don't expect an earthy tomato flavor, because this is a pick-and-eat tomato on the sweet side. They crack as you pick them, so need to be eaten right away. Great for a garden where children like to browse, though the whitish-yellow color may confuse toddlers expecting red. Plentiful tomato production. Many branches(if you don't do some pinching back) will need support because this is indeterminate; mine leans on plants around it. Good to mix in with other varieties. Did not succumb to late blight when other varieties did. |

| This year different kind of late blight killed my 23 variety 160 tomato plants in 1 week! Not just the plants, all the tomatoes died, too. I've never seen such a thing. White current plants are between yellow pear and hillbilly tomato plants, and they were touching each other. I don't know how, but white current plants survived. Perfectly green leaves, lots of tomatoes. Plants are not tall like red cherry tomatoes, but many very big wide branches. Difficult to support for me. Tomatoes are very small, but not that early. In the begining they are transplant very light pale green color, then turn to transplant white (but not white like wall paint), then tops turn to yellow. Very sweet, the sweetest tomatoes I've ever eaten. And also it has some parfume taste.
The only problem some of them crack. That's why I gave 4 star to reliability. I don't have to water my plants, because we have more rain than we ever need. So, I can't stop them cracking.
I got the seeds from seed trade. |
