It's and indeterminate but it's not a cherry. It's a small roma like tomato. When it first became available years ago some people complained about a lack of flavor. But it keeps for a very long time if put in the refrigerator.

To get the most flavor out of them. The trick is to let them sit on the counter for a couple of weeks until they just start to soften a little. At that time they also get a little darker. And then the flavor is at it's peak. Ripe right off the plant they are very firm and somewhat lacking in flavor. But they are prolific producers without cracking or cat-facing. A perfect tomato every time.


Yes, exactly correct. Let them get totally ripe for best flavor. Thumbs up
