    First year growing, only one plant. It is not very leafy and has few branches, not the suckering monster some of the others are. It does seem to show more fruit at this point than any others, though they are still small at about seven weeks after setting out. Update July 11- plant has good amount of fruit on but not especially early. Today I picked a few first (not fully ripe) fruits off several different plants, including this. July 22- more ripening while most other tomatoes are still very slow in coming. Sliced one today, I found a nice texture, solid, small seed cavities, good basic garden tomato flavor, good slicer at about 7 ounces.
