Unit price perSolanum lycopersicum
Also known as Broad Ripple Yellow Currant, this vigorous tomato produces masses of tiny, round fruits to approximately 12 mm across. The bright yellow fruits have thin skins and an intensely flavoured sweet-tart taste, packing surprising complexity into their diminutive size.
Fruit is produced in numerous clusters over a long season, making this an exceptionally productive little tomato for snacking, salads and garnishing. Plants are hardy, easy to grow and show good disease resistance, while the tiny fruits are also rarely targeted by fruit fly.
The vigorous indeterminate vines can become substantial plants and benefit from sturdy staking or trellising. Regular picking keeps the many clusters producing and makes this an excellent variety for gardeners wanting an abundant, strongly flavoured cherry-sized tomato.
Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram. Approximately 40 seeds per packet.
