2022 Has been doing incredibly well for me the past few years. I've started growing them in fabric pots on the south side of my house right up against the building, and they go absolutely crazy for the location now. The past two years at the end of September I've gotten a small second set of fruit. This plant consistently provides me with about 2.2kg (approx 5 lb) of fruit per plant. 2017 Slightly delayed due to higher temps this year and being out in the hottest part of my garden. A good stand-by as usual other than that. 5 lbs/plant. 2009 Determinate variety with gorgeous delicate leaves, with a slight silver tone. Good for growing as an ornamental alone. Good production, 3" in diameter meaty fruit, excellent taste. Very compact plant, about 18" tall, doesn't require staking. Good container tomato.
