Indeterminate. Produces “honkin’ big” fruits with a complex, smoky sweetness that rival the finest beefsteaks. While most cherries range from dime to nickel size, this selection consistently produces fruits the size of a half-dollar. The skin ripens to a deep, dusty mahogany-purple, a color created as chlorophyll retention blends with red lycopene in the flesh. The plants typically display a regular-leaf habit and grow with exceptional vigor, setting heavy trusses of fruit well into the cool weather of autumn until a hard frost kills the vines. Enjoy this tomato primarily as a fresh snack, where its larger size bridges the gap between a cherry and a small salad tomato. The flavor profile balances sweet, acidic, and salty notes, creating a smoky complexity. This depth makes it a favorite for eating right off the vine. Beyond fresh eating, the high sugar content allows the halves to caramelize beautifully when roasted, creating a rich, rustic sauce. The fruits also possess enough structural integrity to pickle whole without collapsing.\u00a075 days from transplant. Details and photo from Terroir Seeds.
