Grew this tomato about two years ago when someone shared some seed they had 
obtained for trials (no longer remember who).  A beautiful small tomato that 
was a curiosity and fun to show around, but not very productive for me.  
Tasted like a regular tomato.  My reaction was that other than the unusual 
color, nothing particular about it that stood out.  A good garden curiosity 
for those with kids (or grand-kids) to generate some gardening interest.
