I'm growing Pink Tiger this year which iirc is the indeterminate sister line to Maglia Rosa. The plants are super compact, it is amazing... lovely short internodes. (Yes, small tomato plants are beautiful to me!!!) They aren't quite as early as most of my toms this year. I sort of expected that because the others I've grown were, well, California dreaming you know, we are not the SoCal and arriving at this shore can be a shock to a tomato. They don't know how soon it will be over, either!
Well I had to run down to the greenhouse and look. The first petal has just fallen today but no pea sized fruit yet. There are two clusters in flower and the third is unfurling buds. The distance between first and second cluster is about 3, certainly less than four inches!!! If it is up for setting all those fruit it would be crazy fruitful for a small vine! LIKE!!!
Can't wait to see the fruit as they are so pretty.
