This is a hybrid grape-type tomato, fairly new to the market. Anyhow, this is the first time I've grown them. The seed catalogue proclaim...Read Moreed "absolutely the most crack-resistant we have ever grown ..." Sadly, that was not my experience. First of all, these little tomatoes have to ripen completely on the vine, otherwise they're too tart ... and then they crack just as badly as Sungolds do. The plant is very vigorous and hardy, and produces masses of these little orange grapes, but for my taste they're too sweet, and that cracking makes them almost useless, unless you plan to eat them all immediately. And they've got pretty tough skin. Because they're so sweet, they're not much good for sauce, IMHO. I won't bother growing them again ... but surely some people like them!
