Indeterminate. This little grape-sized red cherry tomato is packed with sweet, juicy flavor and is a quick favorite for all who try it. Best germinating at a constant 78 degrees or warmer. Once germinated, we find the plants remain healthy and produce abundantly even during cool, rainy New York summers. These are consistently the most blight-resistant of all our tomatoes. Produces beautiful trusses which can be harvested complete for farmers’ markets, as they store better and are attractive when the whole truss is clipped, instead of picking individual tomatoes. Teresa Arellanos de Mena from Hidalgo in eastern Mexico collected and shared this variety with her friend and colleague, Matt Liebman of the U. of Maine Ag School, who saved seeds and passed them on to Johnny’s Selected Seeds. Thanks to Johnny’s for permission to offer this variety, and to Matt and Teresa who saved it.

These little ‘maters are amazing! They were the only tomatoes to survive the blight that destroyed my other tomato plants. Not only that, they are prolific and sweetly delicious. I highly recommend trying them!
