Beautiful trusses of 6 to 15 fruits per spray. Super sweet fruits are 3/4 - 1 inch in diameter and deep dark red in color. Very, very prolific. Great for salads or snacking. A customer favorite!

I asked Karen to pick a tomato variety for me, one that is sweet & flavorful. She picked Sugar Lump for me. I grew it in my 10-gallon pot. It was the best organic tomatoes that I grew. It was so good and productive; I brought some to my neighbor lady. She called me and said, “These tomatoes are so good. I lived for 90 years and never knew that tomatoes could taste this good.” So, I promised her to pick the Sugar Lump seedling next year so she can grow it on her porch. Thank you, Karen.
