Compact plants need little support, but are covered with pinkish red grape tomatoes from early in the season (60 days) until the first hard frost. They are said to go down to 27 degrees. The plants,did survive 29 here, but the ground was still warm and the sky overcast. The fruit has good texture, sweet/tart flavor and is crack resistant. This might make a great container tomato. I had them out in a neglected corner of the orchard and they still thrived.40+ seeds per packet
