    These are a tasty cherry tomato, very sweet and mellow.

    I noticed two of the first five tomatoes harvested had split skin. The evening before there was an immeasurable rain. I suspect the cool rain caused these to split. The plants have been consistently watered and there was not enough rain to have caused this damage to have happened by water intake.

    The color is a bit confusing. The tomato name is Cerise Orange, the flesh description is gold but the color of these fruit is a pale yellow.
