The attractive trusses give the variety its name, with masses of fruit forming almost bouquet-like displays on the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tomatoes are sweet and juicy with relatively mild acidity, making them particularly enjoyable eaten fresh from the plant or added to salads, platters and light cooked dishes.
