Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A super duper extra early heirloom from Edmonton, Canada, 'Sophie's Choice' is an excellent tomato for our cooler Bay Area climate. Growing to 18-24" tall, this determinate tomato needs a bit of support to keep it upright when it's totally loaded with tasty, sweet, red-orange 8-10 ounce fruits with succulent red flesh. They're unusually large for such an early producer. It needs a bit more water than other varieties in the early growth stages. A great option for containers & small gardens!
