My all time favorite! Can't say enough about this tomato. It is a rather "late" variety in my garden but well worth the wait. It is has a wonderful balance of sweet and acid taste. Plenty of juice and nice after taste. It tends to be rather stingy on production, but I plant 3 plants of this variety each season due to that fact. It ripens with green shoulders but tend to fade as the tomato ripens. It will have radial cracks around the stem depending on temps. and watering conditions but nothing to drastic. It is a regular leaf tomato and has few disease problems in my garden. If you haven't tried this tomato...Please give it a try! It is my all time favorite "pink" tomato.
