Consistently ranked in the top five best flavor!
Lemon-shaped, golden-orange fruits, have a characteristic nippled blossom end and are deliciously fruity and sweet. Two-bite fruits weigh between 1-3 ozs, with just a hint of tang to them. The perfect size and flavor for roasting. This one is a must grow. A perfect gift for someone who only has a patio or table to grow on but loves homegrown tomatoes!
Plants are early and compact, staying under two foot tall. The one you see here was growing in only a 2 gallon container.
Foliage is unique in that the leaves are often 'cupped' upwards, making you think that they are thristy - not so! This is just characteristic of this variety.
HISTORY: A now open-pollinated Russian commercial variety known as 'Utyonok'.
Sold in a 3.5" pot.
