Compact, sturdy, determinate plants around 3 foot tall, produce 3-6 oz. dark pink globes of very good flavor - juicy and sweet. One of the best tasting early season varieties that well in cool weather. A great candidate for containers. This variety is well suited for whole-fruit canning.
Early Wonder is a good candidate for growing in a container ( 5 gal +), however, it will need a sturdy cage.
HISTORY: Named and released by the Burgess Seed and Plant Company. Parentage is unknown but original seed is said to have come from a home gardener who lived in California in 1947.
Sold in a 3.5" pot.
