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.
