A particularly vigorous and adaptable variety, Sprints do well throughout the West. Being indeterminate also means they will produce over a long period, providing you with shiny red fruit all summer long. Sweetie is one of the sweetest and productive of cherry tomatoes. Very firm with few seeds and good tomato flavor. We were thrilled by this variety this year and a neighbor remarked that Valencia had that old tomato flavor she remembers from childhood.
Vigorous vine requires staking.
With much more sugar than Roma VF or other strains, they're scrumptious fresh from the garden or simmered into sauces for canning or freezing. Low in moisture content, they're perfect for slicing onto salads or sandwiches. The strong, highly productive determinate plants bear fruit averaging 3.5 ozs. Resistant to verticillium, fusarium, Alternaria, Stemphylium, and bacterial speck and one of few Romas able to set fruit in hot weather. We love them in salads.
