My review will be different than any other I've read about this tomato so far. I bought this plant from Cross Country Nursery in NJ and have only grown it one plant, one season. The fruit was the palest yellow, small 1/2" round fruit born on small clusters over the season. It didn't produce a lot at any given time but my conditions aren't prime tomato conditions. However, one plant wouldn't feed a heavy tomato snacker. The plant was about three feet, not huge at all and could easily be grown in a pot.
This was not a sweet tomato for me. The flavor was unique compared to any other tomato I've grown. I would call this a savory tomato with an expensive taste. It was juicy, not at all meally. I really liked it and will be growing it again.

Tasty, like Matt's Wild Cherry, but sweeter and fuller. For me, at least, they produced a little earlier, about 55 days. The yield is not that high, but not bad in good conditions. The best small-fruited tomato I've grown.
