    A very big indeterminate plant with masses of tiny creamy white fruit with a tinge of yellow (half the size of cherry), very sweet & with a true tomato flavor. Interestingly, this is a different species (Lycopersicum pimpinellifolium) from the garden tomato & sometimes goes under the name “Wild Tomato”. Matures in 75 days.
