This was the earliest ripe tomato by yards in my garden. Very productive and easy to grow. Golf ball sized fruits that were tasty but I did prefer Stupice by a tiny bit. Again, could not keep up with the produce as it sat next to Stupice and between the two, YIKES. Very good for salads, perfect size.

Stokes, North Carolina, United States
Frost Free Season: 143 - 163 days
Soil Texture: Clay
Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40')
Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day

My second year growing Kimberly. Very early (plants set out in mid-March produced ripe fruit Memorial Day or 42 days) Not quite as productive as Stupice but flavor is superior. Fruit are actually very large for a cherry; more like a small salad tomato. I am considering replacing Stupice with Kimberly as my early season tomato. An Early Girl set out the same day and grown next to a Kimberly is just beginning to ripen fruit in early June.
